Yes, what you say is true and the idea of licensing the hadeeth collections or the Quran is plain silly not to mention that nobody has to adhere to or respect such license. A license is imposed on a product that we made or a property produced by our intellect, neither the Quran nor the hadeeth collections fall into that category. Same applies on any attempt to ``reproduce`` those works; licensing such reproduced work is also worthless. Wishing you and your family peace and good health. Salam, Abdalla Alothman
