| Upon a quick inspection, it seems that there is a problem
with just taking
PolR's Groklaw articles and using them
freely. As the few that have been made
into PDF files that
could be used or Printed out, do not seem to have any
Creative Commons License in the text of the downloaded,
stand alone PDF
file?
I just looked at PolR's PDF
file linked to in PJ's
article,
and nope, no creative commons license that I could find
there in
the text at all? PJ's articles have Creative
Commons License, but downloaded,
as a stand alone document,
I don't see where PolR's PDF's have the same?
Where in any of the pdf's written by PolR, is any Creative
Commons License
RIGHTS
at all... (in the text)?
So, those PDFs in those articles, are
then, without
Creative Commons License, they are then under plain old
copyright law at this point in time, and can not be freely
used by anyone
else.
To fix the ability of anyone to use PolR's articles, those
that are
PDF files, then PolR and PJ need to get together,
and republish them on Groklaw
with
the PDF(s) having the proper Creative Commons License that
one can read in
the text of the PDF. Only then,
can someone download the PDF and make a copy
of it freely.
Then, someone, we could hire, as a group here on Groklaw, if
that were possible to do with PJ's help/blessings, can use
them freely. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
