Also, how can users "NEVER LEAVE A TRACE TO TRACK THE AUTHOR of the original product" if the author's full name and date of creation is meant to be included in the license?

- eboyjr 8y agoMaybe it should be more explicit: > No person shall, without the authority of the copyright owner or the law intentionally remove or alter any copyright management information. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/1202 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/1202
- bhhaskin 8y agoI mean sure. If you want to do it by the books, but the whole thing is a joke.
- Shish2k 8y ago> No person shall, without the authority of the copyright owner If the copyright holder is explicitly telling the user to remove all trace of them, that seems like they are granting the authority to do so, no?
- eboyjr 8y agoBasically yes. Thinking as a lawyer though you don't want to leave interpretation of "trace or track" to a judge. In the rare case that there is a dispute, it opens it up for ambiguities which increase risk.
