Re: [OT] Another problem with creative commons licenses

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Now that I think of it, the license I've always used to publish my stuff 
is by-nc-nd, not by-nc-sa. I don't remember now if the license at 
Opsound.org when I registered was nd (non-derivative) or sa 
(share-alike). If the latter is true, is has been a mistake from my side 
(probably I confused them or I didn't pay enough attention). But still, 
they removed the non-commercial clause.

Anyway, do you think that - once I've succesfully had these tracks 
removed from these tracks - I can keep the by-nc-nd license everywhere 
else? Or should I relicense those particular tracks under by-sa?

Best,

-c.
