Thanks to Alon altman, I went to http://creativecommons.org/license/ and created licenses according to people's requests. The lectures by the people who already replied carry links to the appropriate licenses. As you can see there, they give the following options: by: Require attribution? Yes No Allow commercial uses of your work? Yes No Allow modifications of your work? Yes Yes, as long as others share alike No What this form lacks is the granolarity you request (i.e. - if someone changes it alot). I can suggest that unless you find a license that says that, we build for you the "require attribution+do not allow modification", and add that if somebody modified it alot, they need not attribute it to you. I doubt that there will be any license saying that only if their work is good (to your taste), they should attribute it :) Orna. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://www.haifux.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
