In Zed Shaw, LPTHW, & Learn You An RubyJust a note, he may be talking about Learn You An Ruby For Awesome Power: https://github.com/krainboltgreene/learn-you-an-ruby-for-awe...
While LYAR(FAP) is similar in style, it's not a copy. LYAR(FAP) was actually started about 3 months before LPTHW, though restarted multiple times.

Zed's totally right, in this case:
> The languages and the feel are both totally different, and your rendition of the book would have been confusing and crap.
Not to mention
> the key here is that I didn't give you permission in the first place.
Now, this is slightly confusing, since Zed is offering to let other people use his branding to make "Learn X the Hard Way" books, so it's understandable that someone could get confused. But that doesn't make it right.
