Plants Association of India (MAPAI) <<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.mapai.co.nr">http://www.mapai.co.nr</a>> we have asked a question on a OA forum on what should be the suitable CC license to apply for the OAJMAP.<br>
<br>We were told and we also got convienced that we should go for CC BY ND. But now as we are progressing, I feel unfortable in using 'ND'.<br><br>Why?? the license says -- No Derivative Works — You may not alter, transform, or build upon this work.<br>
<br>But, all the research is derived out from the existing and new things would be built on the existing.<br><br>I would like to advice to the Editorial Board, OAJMAP and the Management Committee, MAPAI to go for CC-BY.<br>
<br>Whats your suggestions pleases??<br><br>Sridhar<br><br><br>__________________________________________________________<br>Sridhar Gutam PhD, ARS, Patent Laws (NALSAR), IP & Biotech. (WIPO)<br>Senior Scientist (Plant Physiology)<br>
