I have withdrawn my note on the book of Erich Gruen that I found available online a few days ago. In the meantime, I have sent a mail to Harvard University Press, asking for their response to my question if this book, and several others on the same site, really were meant for free access. Some information on some of their other pages indicates that here is something wrong, and I don't want to break any rules of copyright.
Update Jan 28.
I mailed the HUP, and got an almost immediate reply; the files I detected are not for open access. Their IT people are working on how to fix the problem. In respect for their copyright, I am not to link to these files.
It raises, however, some questions; who would ultimately be responible if HUB would like to take action against someone who link to pages that are available to Google. The common practice has been so far, that if files are available, you can freely link to them. If not, the establishing of resource pages like my Resource Pages for Biblical studies, and NTGateway would be rather impossible, and at least too laborsome to carry on.
