Ok, my view is pretty simple. If you post anything on the Internet it will be used/slashed/copied. If you can't afford a lawyer get used to it. How many of the copy rats cares about the license? Very few if not none. I watermarked images before but it took too much time, I write text on my tech blogs and I know they are being copied. What can I do about it? Not much, except not posting at all. I share because i believe in it so I will not stop. Do I post my content with a license? Not really, there's a note on the side that says you're free to link the images. i didn't change it when I skipped the water marking. I don't think that matters at all. If I post a code snippet or hardware related "inventions" I always go for the WTFPL license. Why? Because I'm probably not first doing and it _will_ be copied. On the other hand, if I copy a text I always link back or refer to the originating location and i try to tell the author as well. If the link goes rotten I have at least listed where it really came from. I agree that the author of the write up should have linked back or referred to the original author though. I didn't know that much was copied except for the LinuxCNC sites which is obviously copied, though there are some useful "chapters" written about the machine itself and there are few write ups about retro's. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!
