Hi All,

This is in relation to text-based content only (documentation, books, articles, etc). I was wondering if anyone has thought about including an additional clause for text-based documents requiring that an editable, or 'transparaent', copy be made available. That is, a sort of 'source code' of the document, a raw-text version. This prevents people from publishing content in difficult-to-read forms, which make it hard to extract content and modify it for your own purposes, e.g. PDF.

The GNU FDL (http://www.fsf.org/licnesnse/fdl.html) has a provision for this, but I would quite like to see one for the Creative Commons Licenses.

Would this be possible?

TIA...
