Hi
Great website.
I am a technical writer at a software company that produces a lot of training materials. We are considering using the BY / NC license because we offer our clients the freedom to create their own training materials using what we have already produced, and we don't want them to make money from the derived materials.
I understand that under the CC licenses, if you don't like the use someone has made of your work, you can request the removal of your name from the derived work.
However, our company name is also the name of the software, so in the circumstance that we strongly dislike the derived training materials (e.g. we feel those materials badly misrepresent our software), our name will be all through those materials.
In that case, under the BY / NC license, could we require that the client include a disclaimer on their derived materials, e.g. '[Software company] wishes to disassociate itself from these training materials.'?
Obviously that would indicate a breakdown in the relationship, which is another issue...but it is one we have faced, and we would like more protection than we already have.
Thank you for reading this.
Kind regards,
appletea.
