ND doesn't stop people "building on" the output; Â but it does stop them amending it, so any reproduction must be of the text verbatim. Charles

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??
