Questions about attribution
freemin7 opened this issue · comments
I am aware that the world of Licensing is one which most people don't want to deal with. It's purpose of it in Open Source is to provide certainty to people who want to use/change it.
Using CC as a license for source code is discouraged. This is due to software being significantly different from other media. Some day there might be a plasmoid license but until then a few open questions remain around attribution.
Your license of choice requires:
Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use.
Could you give your opinion those scenarios about the deer milk plasmoid (this should cover most unclear scenarios):
-
Someone takes the unchanged plasmoid and has it produced and redistributes vials of the DNA in water. Would you want people to put a attribution statement on the vial or pass along a paper with it?
-
Someone takes the unchanged plasmoid and puts it in an organism and redistributes vials of the organism. Would you want people to put a attribution statement on the vial or pass along a paper with it?
-
Someone takes yeast containing the unchanged plasmoid and runs it, they don't kill/filter of the yeast and give away the milk (starter) in containers. Would you want people to put a attribution statement on the bottles or pass along a paper with it?
