[Gvsig_english] FEEDBACK gvSIG 1.9 (BN 1253) -- use of gvSIG in production environment

Fri Jan 22 00:23:50 CET 2010

Hi All,

In regards to reusing tutorial content I will state the obvious.

With community wikis content usually ends up a collection of text from 
all over the place.

Most if not all is not attributed to the original authors.

Although this is not unusual a tutorial by a particular person may be 
considered more valuable, more authoritative or useful than others, and 
some authors, and I must admit I fall into this category, like to have 
their work attributed.

For most of my reports I tend to create documents that can be freely 
distributed but avoid derivatives or use of the work commercially. The 
avoiding of derivatives comes form the fact that I take the time to 
carefully research what I release but the author of a derived work may 
not take as much care. The avoiding of use of works for commercial 
purposes stems from the fact that this is an open community effort and 
people should not derive money from reselling community supplied content.

This generally falls into Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-No 
Derivative Works. What do others think about this?

A good example is Anna. She has contributed a manual for survey and gis 
using gvSIG. Should this be sucked into a wiki then edited by all and 
sundry, with no recognition to the original author? Personally I believe 
her personal effort should be recognized for all the reasons mentioned 
above.

Cheers Simon
