I don't object to options in licenses just as a matter of principle.
|
|
But if some of the options make a license unacceptable, then I would
|
|
not recommend that license at all--because recommending it could
|
|
easily led people to see and use the bad options.
|
|
|
|
Suppose one wanted to combine
|
|
two related documents by piecing together subsections (and paragraphs)
|
|
from each. If they were both under the same license (even though
|
|
they used different options) it might be easier to proceed.
|
|
|
|
It would not be any easier. Using two different sets of global
|
|
options is really using two different licenses; it may not be
|
|
apparent that that is so, but it is so.
|
|
|
|
Another example would be where for one document, the option specifies
|
|
that you can't modify it without permission of the author. Then this
|
|
could be combined with a document that used another option provided
|
|
the author agreed.
|
|
|
|
You can do anything whatever with the work, if the author agrees. The
|
|
license says what you can do *without* asking permission.
|
|
|
|
Without asking permission, there's no advantage in this way of using
|
|
options.
