This sounds like there may be problems with the CC after all. But what would it mean in practice? Could someone create their own setting based on the SharedWorld(s), and deny the rest of us the ability to use that version? Could they use it for their own profit? Would we be unable to modify anothers work, and be stuck with their exact text? |
With the CC3 license, people can try to create profit from ShareWorld, but anything they create must also be released with the same license - which means everyone can distribute copy it, distribute it, etc. (so making a profit from it will be
very hard).
The only difference is that with the GPL license (as I understand it, please correct me if I'm wrong), if someone created a pdf for ShareWorld, they would also be obligated to hand over the word document it was created from if anyone requested it. Maybe we should take a closer look at that license.
SGL.
