...and that is your opinion. But not universally shared. It is usually better to try hard to acknowledge the other side, so I really think you need to be careful about mentioning CC's verdict on CC-BY-SA without also mentioning their view about the ODbL. Even if you think one of the two views is wrongheaded or a 'moral crusade', if you would like to mention Creative Commons to back up an argument against CC-BY-SA, you really have a duty to give both sides. If nothing else, doing so avoids starting yet another side-discussion as people jump in to point out what you deliberately omitted. (As I read the CC people's comments on the ODbL, they genuinely are legal and practical ones, being concerned with legal certainty and with the licence's understandability to non-experts.) -- Ed Avis <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
