MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit In my experience, there is some confusion in the community about how CC-By-SA-4.0 works. For example, some consider it plagiarism to repurpose works as permitted by the license. Since my experiences with such accusations, I always take great care to carefully list out the methods by which a modified/adapted CC-BY-SA-4.0 work complies with §3(a)(A). I do that first and maintain it thereafter. After all, bare minimum adherence to Free licenses is not what we in the copyleft-next project seek — we seek exuberant adherence that goes above and beyond to make adaptation, modification, and improvement as easy as possible for downstream. --- CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md | 12 ++++++++---- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md b/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md index f60437a..6148ca3 100644 --- a/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md +++ b/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md @@ -82,11 +82,15 @@ This enforcement ladder is intended as a guideline.
