I don't understand your question, and I don't understand any relevance to what
we are talking about.

If you live in Germany, then the reasons have to do with German law that I don't
know much about.

If you live elsewhere, then one reason might be the copyright status of the 
book.
It is still under copyright, as I understand it.

Are you saying that you are opposed to copyrights in general?  If so, that's 
fine
with me, but it has nothing to do with GNE, which is *not* a scheme to enable 
people
to steal.  GNE is to be, as I understand it, a repository for free texts, free 
in the
GNU sense of "released voluntarily by the author under a free license".  

So, as I say, I don't understand what point you think you're making.
