David, initiating the discussion, said, +While I support the right of an author (in some cases) to not allow +modification without the author's consent, what about the case where the +document needs revision and author can't be located? I think our manifesto +needs to be changed to require that any license must allow modification if the +author can't be located after searching on the Internet. He said that a +no-modify option to The LDP's Boilerplate License be included with it, to be +effective only if the author selects this option: Modification would be +prohibited unless the author can't be located. Furthermore, while LDP would +permit this option we would not encourage it as is currently stated in the +manifesto: "It is not required that the documents be modifiable, but it is +encouraged."
