Cc-uk mailing list

["Andres Guadamuz" <a.guadamuz AT ed.ac.uk>]

IMO, nothing could be done because there are strong philosophical and
ethical principles embedded in open source and Creative Commons licences
that enshrine freedom of expression and forbid any discrimination of fields
of endeavour in the licence. For example, the CC baseline rights state that
"other people's fair use, first sale, and free expression rights are not
affected by the license". This certainly would include the BNP, even if the
owner objects to the way in which their work is being used (or abused).

This is where moral rights would be useful, as in my opinion this could
constitute "prejudice or damage to honour or reputation" in the sense of the
integrity right. However, I don't really want to re-open the moral rights
can of worms, enough has been said about that in this list.
