D&D books are still available by themselves from your friendly local game store. You can find them at Target, Amazon, and beyond as well. But the community seems concerned about WotC’s move towards a more digital D&D.
Physical books will always be > than digital ones. We need a truly open source and democratised D&D alternative.
Edit: Thanks for all the suggestions, I didn’t realise there were so many! Imma look at open5e more :)
There are multiple.
To add to mummelpuffins comment:
For 5e there is https://open5e.com/, although that is under the OGL.
But for B/X and other OSR-systems there are whole lot more, I think. Basic Fantasy RPG is with it’s 4th edition OGL-free:

Didn’t WOTC end up releasing that under a creative commons license?
Yeah, but I think after the original scare a lot of people want to be as independent and free from WotC as possible.
That doesn’t make it less open source, though.
It’s important to understand that those rules are now perpetually open and free to use/copy/modify. WotC truly relinquished any chance of trying to claw them back.
