Hey,
Attila raises an issue that I've been also observing here in
Poland:
that a lot of people license without using the license
generator, thus
missing the metadata, getting the information wrong,
sometimes not
providing proper links, etc.
What does it mean? Firstly, that somehow we are not
channeling people
through our prefered licensing tool. I wish someone tried to
estimate
the scale of this, it's doable.
And secondly, this is again proof that people just skip the
subtleties
of licensing.
Mako, you write:
"presented it in a way that made it clear that it was
free and that
linked to both the CC deed and a FD explanation of
theimportance of freedom"
The question is, how many people would read that? This is
another
interesting issue that could be checked - what is the number
of visits
to the deed pages (compared to what? number of works
licensed is roughly
at least measurable, number of views of them not really).
BUt it would
be good to know if people follow the link, and then read the
deed page -
or most know about CC from some other source than our
written info and
then just go about with their limited / fuzzy knowledge. The
way people
sometimes license things, I'd say the latter is possible.
