Forum member Zhilong provided links today to another commercial site, foreignserviceinstitute.com, which sells PDFs and audio of various of the FSI courses. For some, you can download the textbooks in PDF form on the site. I looked at the Swedish course textbook available there, and it seems it's copied exactly from the Swedish course on this site. (You can compare the wrinkling and wear on the cover to see they're identical.)
Just another case of someone trying to make money from work that others have done to make materials freely available here... ADDENDUM: Just to ensure there's no misunderstanding, I meant no criticism of Zhilong in the above; it's great that he tracked this down. I only wanted to point out the difference between those who seek to profit from others' work and those who seek to make language materials available free to everyone.

I'm OK with others using the material I've submitted for profit (though free is better).
