Great article! My take is that more needs to be done to increase awareness among authors. In Open Science community engagement, we always see/learn of the lack of knowledge around licensing. And now with the advent of LLMs, CC-BY could easily be abused.

When a more restrictive open access licence is applied to a book, who gets to make decisions about usage that falls outside the open licence?

So if I’ve grasped the galaxy-brained strategy here, it’s:
✅ Day 1: reassure target voters that migrants are a problem & you’re ready to make them suffer
✅ Day 2: tell target voters their ideas are racist
✅ Day 3: reassure target voters that migrants are a problem & you’re ready to make them suffer
