Can anyone give here or point me to a short review of free licenses when talking about lecture slides on such like.
I am fammilier with what it means to GPL/LGPL/ public domain license software, I am uncertain of how these licenses apply to anything other than software. there is also a GNU documentation licence? what are it's benefits/downsides? an ideal license as far as I am concerned would allow others to use my work convinient while making sure I get appropreate credit for my work but not allow anyone to attach my name to any junk some how related to something I wrote. Does such a magical license exist? what comes close?
