Agree with paultopia - I'm an assistant professor and have also never heard of this happening. The closest I got to some indignation from the University bookstore which wanted to list a textbook for my course and was seemed confused or disappointed to learn that the text book was free and online.

There was a significant push at my uni for open source texts. The old guard continues to win with arguments along the lines of "students won't see value in a free book." Where I'll believe that they aren't taking bribes... at least in some cases a majority don't care about the expense that they aren't paying.
