I've no problem with BY, but NC and ND are quite restrictive. ND particularly as the license says I can't "build upon" the material. What does that mean in a scientific paper, I can't replicate your experiment? I can't create improvements to your algorithm and publish a new paper?
- Amorymeltzer 11y agoIt's not that bad. Copyright covers the publication, in this case the written paper, not the technique; that could be covered by a patent, but is unlikely. For basic, wet-lab bench research, traditional copyright has for example permitted replication forever - no issue there. Code is a trickier issue, but generally no, you could not publish derivative code. Not that you generally can under traditional copyright.
