I wrote it last month and held it for a while to think about what to do with it, for example, move it to my blog or submit it as an article somewhere. But for now I think I'll just release it in this form and consider next steps later.

I hope it's useful. I'd welcome methods, examples, links, or details I might have overlooked.

Determining the extent of reuse and especially the need to reattribute to original users will be crucial for TDM-based products. A lawsuit may be on the way in the US ift.tt/z0cnjwb #commons `#github #opensource #openlicenses

@kdnyhan It could. #Rightsretention by authors (and #rightsreversion to authors) is most beneficial when authors exercise the rights to put works under #openlicenses (like CC-BY).
