ND is important for those who do "authoritative writing" (for a lack of a better term); i.e., when you write with your real name, you do not want nonsense and disinformation associated with your name.
- hypfer 10d agoAh, yeah, in the meanwhile I've also googled your nick and saw that you're in academics. That makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
- ghaff 10d agoYes, I think of it more in the context of photo and video integrity, but you can certainly imagine an unscrupulous individual rewriting something and changing the meaning. Of course, I doubt a license would stop that person.
- roundabout-host 10d agoDoesn't CC BY require to say what you changed?
- skeledrew 10d agoIf a person would ignore one part of a license, they may also ignore other parts.
- yjftsjthsd-h 10d ago... Then why would they care that it's ND?
- ghaff 10d agoNot really. You're supposed to attribute the original creator. And if I did make major changes/additions I'd find some way to flag that. But you don't have a Github-style change log.
- roundabout-host 10d agoNot really, but you can't just distribute a changed version as if it were original. That's just as illegal as if it were ND.
