That sounds like a great clarification to add to the Licensing Policy. << Obviously - folk who dedicate their works to the public domain are not legally requiring attribution <smile>. >> We surely aren't, although that doesn't mean that we're averse to it. :-D << Personally - I don't have any quibbles if an individual author were to insert a template on a page saying "Original version donated by Prof ABC" especially if this will help increase the volume of free content being made available. >> I think that's a good idea. It would be divorced from the BY clause of the license, and those downstream could keep it or not, but for our part we'd be tracking what we got and ensuring recognition. -=Steve=- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
