1. MathJax is not the default export option. See org-html-with-latex
2. We use MathJax script from
https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.0/MathJax.js It is
licenced under Apache 2.0, which is GPL-compatible according to
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#GPLCompatibleLicenses

Emm. No? One can simply read
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getting_Things_Done and free references
from there. The fact that GTD methodology is described in some
DRM-protected book does not imply that one must use that particular book
to learn GTD. It would only be an issue if Org manual contained a direct
link to David's book.

Best,
