Google can hardly claim the high ground here, when the real company motto is "What yours is mine, what's mine is mine, and we are incapable of doing evil because we define what is evil." A pox on the lot of 'em.

TC -

A pox?

Better an epoxy, to gum up the works.

It's interesting, apparently one of the things Google didn't like was this bloke's (ChromePlugins.org) use of the Chrome comic book, which is in fact published under a Creative Commons license.

Apparently while the comic is published under a CC license, Google didn't want people to use the comic book under that license at this time.

Gee, ain't that a shame. :)

What kind of CC license? I vaguely seem to remember that it was the "non-derivatives" variant. [How this variant got adopted by CC is beyond me. Non-free from the first sight.]

But, as far as I am aware this bloke wasn't using a derivative.

Um. I must have mistaken him with someone else then :)
