I have browsed the contents of the "shop" and I find that really interesting.

The only part that I found missing, and that's strange after all the 
discussions about diagram use and copyright infringement that we've been having 
here, is an attempt at standardizing a set of licenses that the designer could 
(should) choose from before putting a diagram online.

I write "should" because for example, there is no indication about what Yash 
Mittal wants us to be able to do with his work, and _that_ should be 
compulsory, *because* we don't want copyright infringement to happen.

Also, there are plenty of diagrams around that are free. I think authors should 
propose them to the shop and select the license they want.

With that in mind, if we could try to define what would be potential limit 
options to what the user does with the diagram we'd have a good framework to 
create standard licenses that pertain to origami and its specificities and we'd 
be in a better position to reshape the debate on origami works use.

If that's been already done somewhere, I'd like pointers too.
