Authoritative scientific works licensed under CC-BY-SA

[secretkeeper12]

I'm currently looking to distribute scientific works in my local area, and wish to be as accurate as possible. Therefore, an authoritative source of information would be good, one that can be distributed ideal. The more information (like for instance how mars is 55% the size of Earth), the better.

I see collegeopentextbooks (I linked math, search for subject) [http://collegeopentextbooks.org/opentextbookcontent/open-textbooks-by-subject/math] has the licences listed next to the text, CC-BY-SA listed.

there was a bit of info at wikieducator [http://wikieducator.org/OER_Handbook/educator/Find/open_textbooks#CC-BY-SA_or_CC-BY-ND] too.

Creativecommons [http://creativecommons.org/tag/open-textbooks] has an article that mentions boundless [https://www.boundless.com/subjects/], some app with a few books on it.
