With those licenses they’ll at least have to add the copyright notice. You could even disallow commercial use while giving other users the freedom to do with them as they please.
- ghaff 4y agoOne of the problems with non-commercial clauses is that essentially all non-trivial/non-private uses can be argued to be commercial in some way. There was even a court case a while back that argued having a commercial service reproduce copies of an NC-licensed work was commercial activity in and of itself. The general opinion of NC licensing is it makes the creator feel good about themselves but doesn't generally let others use the works.
- wartijn_ 4y agoAh, I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.
