What is license of 2d transformations article?

pamelafox opened this issue 11 years ago · 7 comments

I love this article:
http://www.processing.org/tutorials/transform2d/

I would like to port it to ProcessingJS and adapt it for use on Khan Academy. What is the license of it? Is it the same as the reference? We could provide attribution at the bottom.

Thanks!

Great question. @shiffman did you write this one?

@REAS is the intent to CC license only the reference pages, or the tutorials as well, or everything on the site? If we need to license on a per-tutorial basis (for example, because I think some of Dan's are taken from his books), I can look into adding that.

This particular tutorial is by @jdeisenberg. I would be happy to CC any of mine that are not from Learning Processing (owned by Elsevier).

Thanks for the kind words; glad you like the tutorial. I'm fine with Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike, if that works for you.

We originally only placed the CC on the reference pages. It would be great to do that with the tutorials as well, but most of them have different copyrights that we don't control.

Well, since we have conflicting copyrights/licenses for the tutorials, perhaps it is even more important to clearly label each one. I like the simplicity of what we use on the reference pages, just a CC badge at bottom. For the non-CC tutorials, we could include text like "© 2012 Dan Shiffman, reproduced from Learning Processing…" or similar.

That sounds good. Let's work on this at the June meeting. I think we have tutorials from 4 or 5 different books and the copyright owner is different for each. It's myself, Dan, Ben, and Ira who have copyright issues. Thankfully, @jdeisenberg is down with CC.

I've ported the article and put this at the bottom of each article:
This article is an adaptation of [link]2D Transformations[/link] by J David Eisenberg, used under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike License.

Let me know if that's not what you were thinking- thanks for having this discussion!
