Abstract

The problem with non-lawyers, like me, speculating on legal matters is that there's a risk of scaremongering or just plain inaccuracy. Not that this really ever stops the practice -- and it won't here. In any case, I wanted to re-state [the question that I raised yesterday](/2019/01/23/additional-points-in-my-plan-s-response/) and that I'd like addressed about CC BY and defamatory attribution.
