There is no license included in the tree, as far as I can tell.

How about using the GNU Free Documentation License (FDL)?

There actually is already a license, in the readme.

Licence

This book is available for free, but what I've written remains mine.

Translations: as long as the result made is available for free (you can have ads) I welcome translations.

Other use: contact me; as long as your intentions are good I'd be happy to figure out something. I'm not looking to make money from the book but I don't want it to be republished without my permission.

But I would prefer the license to be changed to something more standard and specific, with more details on what “available for free” and “remains mine” mean. The FDL that @globalcitizen suggested looks like it gives more freedoms than @mixu intends, such as verbatim redistribution under the same license. Maybe one of the Creative Commons licenses would fit best.

The specific notes about translations and “other use: contact me” are helpful, and should be included in addition to a reference to a standard license.
