Mike's Notes
I need to make sure the correct Creative Commons licence is being used for Ajabbi.
CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 is currently being used at every page's footer.
According to the Creative Commons website, this means Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International. But is this correct?
The Ajabbi website content can be reused for free if attribution is provided. This will also apply to the GitHub repository. Any adaptations should also include the requirement of attribution.
Therefore, the correct licence should be CC BY-SA.
I often copy or quote other people's work on public websites or in the public domain. They are also linked back to the original source.
I need to check that the correct attribution is given to incorporated material.
There is a Creative Commons Platform Toolkit, which goes into more detail.
All this needs to be added to the draft of the Ajabbi Open Handbook.
