Re: [AMC-List] Copyright/copyleft/GNU license? (pertaining to AMC info files)

Tom, this looks like a great way to protect this info.
 I'll see if I could set this up.  I would be willing
to relenquish control to someone else that wanted to
"own" the dealer list.  The amcyclopedia folks have a
copy and might want to ??? (Matt and Farna iirc
http://www.amcyclopedia.org).  Though removing it from
my webspace isn't the best because there are several
active websites linking to it.

I was thinking first of the Creative Commons licenses.
They have
an interactive website that lets you customize legal
copyright
boilerplate to achieve various ends.

As an example, I assume Steve would like to retain
copyright
control over the work (note) but allow others to
modify/add to
it, and to prevent commercial resale of the entire
work without
his permission. JUST AN EXAMPLE.

There are also the various GNU licenses, but CC is
easier to
use for this.


It came up with this sample:
