| <AMStanton> How about just CC with ability ot opt-out? done
I think that's the ideal answer. And i think there's no need to
put barriers in people's way -- let's make CC the default. We can
just put up a notice, plain and simple, on every page:
All content on the DeanSpace [or whatever we call it] network
is licensed under a Creative Commons license unless otherwise
indicated.
(...and hyperlink "Creative Commons license" to
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/1.0/ )
The forms where people post articles and media items can say:
By submitting your content here, you are authorizing its
distribution over the Internet. Furthermore, unless you
indicate otherwise, content you submit here will be licensed
under a Creative Commons license so that others may share,
modify, or display your work for noncommercial uses.
If you prefer not to let others share your work under the
terms of this license, enter your e-mail address here.
[________________]
If you have entered an e-mail address, your submission will
be displayed with a warning that the CC license does not
apply, and a note asking users of your content to contact
you to obtain copyright permissions.
How's that for a proposal? Let's open it for discussion for the
weekend, until midnight on Monday night.
Objections or concerns?
