Hi,
Thanks for your reply~ In China, the awareness of copyright is not very strong in some areas. For example, many people do not think that things like piracy are serious problems.Even if they probably understand the importance of copyright, they will ignore this in their habits. In China today, the public's copyright awareness is developing at a high speed.In this development process, what kind of copyright agreement is used to actively and efficiently guide the public's copyright awareness is something that needs to be considered. This topic may require a lot of communication to discuss.It doesn't matter, because the Chinese version is ready now, I need to upload as soon as possible. I will use the same copyright agreement as the English version in the Simple-Chinese version(GPL3/CC-BY4，not CC-BY-SA4).In this way, everyone can benefit from the book first.In the future, we will look for opportunities to exchange ideas about copyright.

Contributors are listed below.

So, the first thing is, changing the license to the only agreement of Creative Commons Attribution License (version 4.0 or later) is ok. Then, the distribution behavior under the term of the license of CC-BY-SA 4.0, is in line with CC-BY 4.0 ( Creative Commons Attribution License)requirements. So, I think we can distribution the document only under CC-BY-SA 4.0. I would say, strongly, no that is not allowed nor desirable. Precisely because it restricts the rights passed on the a consumer of the work. ------Second------ Why change the agreement? Without prejudice to the interests of the distributor, CC-BY-SA 4.0 respects the original author more than CC-BY 4.0: Creative Commons Attribution License (version 4.0 or later). I think this is the reason why the wiki page choose CC-BY-SA(instead CC-BY). And, I think that the best way to respect the original author is to choose CC-BY-SA instead of CC-BY. Sometimes, in some places, CC-BY is not rigorous enough. Well, I could ask what places those are. But I would also guess that 'those places' are why CC-BY and not CC-BY-SA was selected in the first place. Again, this is just my opinion. Best wishes, Drew I hope that when the Simple-Chinese version is distributed later, it will be able to fully include the English version of the original author information and how it will be distributed. ------Third------ What I mentioned in the email is to change the Simple-Chinese book's license, NOT the English book's license. In my Simple-Chinese version book: The contents of the copyright are exactly the same as the original English version, including contributors (current edition and previous edition), no changes. And, the copyright page number is the same as the English version: number 2, after the cover page. And, using the same font size, the same font type, the same font color, and the same page layout as the English version book. ------Fourth------ Done. The above is my plan. But before the distribution, I want to ask the documentation team member or original author for advice. ------------ So, can I choose CC-BY-SA4.0 instead of GPL3/CC-BY4.0 ?

Unless you get direct approval from *all* the authors of those previous versions (published under those two licenses), you cannot do that yourself. Lp, m.
