Hi all Interessting points of view, let me add my own as an author of texts, SVGs and TW “software”.
As a creator I earn the copyright for my stuff and I can decide to publish a work under a certain license to state my intentions about it’s use. E.g. I could use a CC license: “Creative Commons licenses provide an easy way to manage the copyright terms that attach automatically to all creative material under copyright.” [1] Suppose I publish an SVG graphic in a TW in stripped svg format. Where would I include licensing information? Case: I want to use this graphic in one of my TW plugins, anyone may use it for free as part of my free plugin. User J likes my graphic and includes it in his SVG collegtion of graphics. User P loads my SVG from J’s collection and wants to print and sell t-shirts with my design. How can we let user P know that he must ask me for a commercial license? I find the idea appealing to include a field "license" and maybe a field "copyright" with my name/website. The information in these fields should be visible in the SVG tiddler without any additional macro or copyright tiddlers in view mode – but invisible when it is used/transcluded in my plugin interface. This way it would be possible to drag my work from wiki to wiki without accidentally loosing the copyright and license information. And yes: a CC-0 license is a license too and it would be useful to keep this information included for folks like Josiah and me who care about stuff like this, so we know we can do anything without asking. Just my five cents. All the best!
