If I decide to self-publish a book what happens to the copyright? Is there a way to prevent others from claiming copyrights for a book published autonomously? Are there OS licenses specifically tuned for books?

        Making income from open licensing is the only ethical option, though.

          • Breaking your back doing hard days work

          Not ethical

          • Enterprising. Selling a product,trade, or service to people. Perhaps your an great artist or got some clothes to sell off

          Not ethical

          • Creating a (gl with your book op I think it’s going be a gudden) shitty book in some shitty overpriced coffeeshop getting paid on patreon for peanuts

          Ethical
