It is available free of charge under creative commons[1] (an open source) license; under this "license that requires attribution, users can pick and choose chapters or integrate with their own material"[2].

Introduction to Economic Analysis was the first published complete textbook being openly available online [2]. McAfee was named SPARC innovator for year 2009 [2] for making the book freely accessible.
