Often its an issue of magnitude though. If someone wants to use a photo I've taken very small in the corner of a 200 page document, which forms part of a piece of work they have been paid by the government to do, its probably not objectionable. If someone however sells my software slightly tweaked and rebranded, its probably not OK.
There's a range of greys in there but the licencing is black and white.
- icebraining 12y agoGeneric licenses like these should be black and white, otherwise you'd get even more expectations mismatches. Thankfully, nothing forces you to use only a single license for your work! The best system for those grey cases, in my opinion, would be to publish the work under a NC license, but then add a message like "contact me if you want to use this work commercially" and offer specific licenses for such uses.
