Re: just share alike

Thanks for the info.  Regarding my not wanting to require
the stating of the 
license, my reasoning was that since we are to assume that
any work we find 
could very well have all the rights reserved, I wouldn't
really be 
restricting anyone by not requiring the information of the
license. If they 
did not know the license of the artwork, they should assume
that the rights 
are all reserved and should believe that with regard to the
law they should 
not be copying it in the first place, let alone restricting
the copies or 
modifications of their copy.  So wouldn't it be up to the
copier to either 
try to find out the license somehow or assume that all
rights are reserved 
if they can't or don't want to find out the license - in the
case where 
there is not a license stated along with the artwork? (All
the above is 
referring to having only the share alike restriction with no
other 
restrictions present)

Thanks, Matt
