Suppose you are a land owner. You own a large piece of land containing lots of amazing fossils and other important pieces of history. To share this with the world you decide you want to allow ANYONE to come and discover the history on your property.My question:EDITCould you apply an open source license such as CC-BY to all of the artifacts they find in the property.
Could you apply a CC-BY license to a piece of land?
licensing;creative commons
You can't fork land, you can't derive it or even copy it.The answer is no, you can only normally license something that is your own creation, and land belongs to that of mother nature.
