These images are CC-BY-SA, but I don't see a similar mark on the NPR article. Is that a CC violation? Edit: Thank you, Planet Labs, for making them CC-BY-SA!

- floatingatoll 7y agoYes. You should ask that question of the NPR Public Editor. They may quote you, so be professional about it. I encourage citing the specific terms of CC-BY-SA that require the republished content to reference the license. https://help.npr.org/contact/s/contact?request=Ask-the-Public-Editor-about-ethics https://help.npr.org/contact/s/contact?request=Ask-the-Publi...

- djmobley 7y agoA requirement of the CC-BY-SA license is that any works which build upon the material (e.g. this NPR article) must also be distributed under the same license.
- zozbot234 7y agoOnly if the article is a derivative work, in the copyright sense. And copyright doesn't protect facts, so figuring out something about the real world from these images and independently describing it would not create a derivative work.
- jdsully 7y agoThat would be true if they didn't include the actual images themselves in the article.
- pyb 7y agoAs far as I understand, the NPR article needs to be under CC-BY-SA as well.
- cperciva 7y agoIt's only a CC violation if it doesn't fall under the "news reporting" fair use exemption.
- floatingatoll 7y agoIf it costs NPR nothing to include the mark, and doing so does not interfere with their fair use, then do they have a moral obligation to do so, regardless of whether the law permits its exclusion or not?
