 ## Intro
 This list was originally a clone of [stackoverflow - List of Freely Available Programming Books](http://web.archive.org/web/20130824154208/http://stackoverflow.com/a/392926) by George Stocker. 
 
-The list was moved to GitHub by Victor Felder for collaborative updating and maintenance. It grew to become one of the [most popular repositories on Github](https://octoverse.github.com/), with over 80,000 stars, over 4000 commits, over 800 contributors, and over 20,000 forks.
-
-The repo is now administered by the [Free Ebook Foundation](https://ebookfoundation.org), a not-for-profit organization devoted to promoting the creation, distribution, archiving and sustainability of free ebooks. [Donations](https://ebookfoundation.org/contributions.html) to the Free Ebook Foundation are tax-deductible in the US.
