Dear Sridhar,
CC-BY without a doubt. I share your views on the ND element. Almost all science
is derived from earlier work. And ND would encumber, or make impossible, usage
by modern scientific analyses, which are increasingly using â needing â
text-
and data-mining and then publishing those analyses.
Best,

Dear All,
In the year 2009, when we launched the Open Access Journal of
Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (OAJMAP) <http://www.oajmap.in> from
Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Association of India (MAPAI)
<http://www.mapai.co.nr> we have asked a question on a OA forum on
what should be the suitable CC license to apply for the OAJMAP.
We were told and we also got convienced that we should go for CC BY
ND. But now as we are progressing, I feel unfortable in using 'ND'.
Why?? the license says -- No Derivative Works â You may not alter,
transform, or build upon this work.
But, all the research is derived out from the existing and new
things would be built on the existing.
I would like to advice to the Editorial Board, OAJMAP and the
Management Committee, MAPAI to go for CC-BY.
Whats your suggestions pleases??
Sridhar
