Comments on: Accessibility 2.0 – a million flowers bloom http://eatyourgreens.org.uk/archives/2008/04/accessibility_2.html Actually, I am a rocket scientist Sat, 08 Oct 2011 09:21:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Jim http://eatyourgreens.org.uk/archives/2008/04/accessibility_2.html/comment-page-1#comment-159 Jim Sun, 27 Apr 2008 18:55:55 +0000 http://eatyourgreens.org.uk/?p=116#comment-159 I think Jeremy's got a good point there. I oversimplified as I was scribbling my notes down. The point refers to cases where the copyright holder is unknown. For example, <a href="http://www.nmm.ac.uk/collections/explore/object.cfm?ID=SLR1790" rel="nofollow">this model of a collapsible lifeboat</a>. If it were to turn out that the National Maritime Museum (NMM) don't have the right to publish it, then they'd apologise and take it down. Where the copyright owner is known, of course, then the NMM can't publish or redistribute without permission eg. <a href="http://www.nmm.ac.uk/collections/explore/object.cfm?ID=AAA2287" rel="nofollow">http://www.nmm.ac.uk/collections/explore/object.cfm?ID=AAA2287</a> Hence I can publish <a href="/archives/2008/04/opening_up_muse.html" rel="nofollow">RSS feeds for the NMM collections</a>, but I can't make those feeds available under a Creative Commons licence for others to use.

Er, no. What a dreadful attitude. “Publish, then apologise if you publish something you don’t have rights too.”

Er, no.

What a dreadful attitude.
