I somehow am very naiete with respect to this idea of trying to apply a
restictive license to text because someone might alter them and cause some
major disaster. And then suggesting what seems like DRM to 'protect' this
content? I feel that a really interested party will find a way to work around
any license or DRM issue, so I somehow feel that the text should be provided
with a license that might limit how it will be derived like maybe 'CC
no-diriv'? I expect moral people to respect the license and to want to provide
the health benefit of this content. I also would expect the application to be
controlled by people who will make sure they use your good content. I dont
expect some rogue group to alter the it to damage peoples health. But I may
be very confused. Any comments are appricated.
