Why we need to define a license to stop someone to copyright or charge for a
specialized archetype?
I think this could be done by defining "user terms" to the archetypes
downloaded from the CKM (and every CKM around the world must have the same "use
terms".
You can include something like this on the user terms: all artefacts
(archetypes, templates, term sets, etc) downloaded from *here* are public and
free to use and to specialize. All artefacts derived from those, alse must be
free. This is a copyleft scheme.
If I want to use artefacts from a "public CKM", I must follow those rules. Of
course, anyone can create its own CKM and create artefacts from scratch and do
whatever they want with those artefacts.
I think you can charge for the time you invest in specialize artefacts from
public CKMs, but not sell the artifact itself. If you create the artefact from
scratch its the creators desition to charge or not.
What do you think?
Regards,
Pablo.
