The Cathedral & the Bazaar, The E-book.
This is to my knowledge the only free ePub of Eric S. Raymond's iconic essay The Cathedral & the Bazaar. This e-book should qualify as a "minor change" under the license, though I have shifted the notes into each chapter and added a full list of the lessons at the end.

My setup for generating an ePub merely uses Python, epubcheck and GNU Bash.
A new ePub file can be made by using the provided CreateE-book.py via installing Python 3 and then running the script on IDLE, Thonny or the python3 CreateE-book.py command on GNU Bash (macOS and GNU/Linux Terminal). The script however does not work with Python 2 and I have no plans to backport.
XHTML, CSS and the metadata.json files can be edited using a text editor such as Atom and Notepad++.
The toc.ncx and content.opf are generated by the CreateE-book.py and shouldn't be edited as they would be overwritten.
If you need to check the e-book yourself run java -jar epubcheck.jar CathedralBazaar.epub from on the GNU Bash terminal (macOS and GNU/Linux) after moving to the folder that the ePub file is placed in.
I personally combine the commands by running python3 CreateE-book.py && java -jar epubcheck.jar CathedralBazaar.epub to streamline things.
