Автор Techdirt объяснил критику Эванса: дело не в гонораре, а в нарушении прав общественного достояния

No, you’re just so hopelessly desperate to point your finger and call Mike a hypocrite, that you’ve given leave of all sense and logic. Mike has no problem with Evans using Techdirt articles in his book. What he takes issue with is claiming rights to works that Evans clearly did not create and Mike repeatedly stated he has given to the public domain (i.e. It belongs to everyone ). If nothing else, Evans is infringing on the rights of the public domain, which Mike takes severe issue with. You’re the hopelessly confused and wrong one. Mike’s beef is that of attribution and placing limitations on what was clearly given away freely, not compensation. Mike waived his copyright on Techdirt articles for the benefit of the public and his readers, but that does not give anyone the right to claim it instead. Once something is public domain, it stays there. Take away all copyright law and Mike’s works are the same then as they are now, unrestricted. It’s copyright and Evans’ misuse of it that is causing the problem here. But you’re so hung up on convincing everyone that Mike is a hypocrite and discrediting him, that you just glossed over those facts or you’re truly clueless.
