Hi,
I have several essays licensed under the No Derivative Works option, for
which I would like to encourage faithful foreign language translations.
But I don't see any way to allow that without allowing any kind of
derivative work. Each of these essays are highly personal expressions
of my experiences and opinions, so I don't want to allow them to be
edited for reasons other than to translate them - faithfully.
I don't see any way to objectively judge the faithfulness of
translations, given that I only speak English.
What I've been doing is arranging privately for translations.
Here is one I'd like to get translated:
My Deepest Fear
http://www.vancouverdiaries.com/thought-police.html
It is a very vivid account of the paranoia I sometimes experience as a
result of a mental illness I have.
Best,
Michael David Crawford
