I don't agree with Frank. Apart from the fact, that posting an entire work - where the arrangement and explanation even of known formulae is an achievement that is protected - violating copyright laws, I would not speculate about whether Jean Meeus would like that: ask him - and his publishing house - and find out. It doesn't matter whether somebody else in Ljubjana has copied the work before and produced the scan.
By the way, if posting such publications (with a small print run aimed at special interests) becomes usual and accepted no publishing house will publish such books anymore and nobody will bother to write them. I guess that the internet will then dry up another small field of expertise.
So my - free - advice (I am a lawyer as you know): delete it, Frank.
