By the word, page, etc.? What's the going rate for licensing content for use on another website?

Surely regular readers of your site would not have considered using such a license anyway, but your analysis is helpful in contrasting it with things we do use and should not take for granted, like the Creative Commons licenses. I appreciate the time you spent on your careful analysis. Excellent article.

I think that says it all actually. The judge would have to interpret the intention of just about everything in the license and, like you said, he would have a better standing if he just stuck with an All Rights Reserved license and doled out permission on a specific case-by-case basis.

This license puts both the licensee and the licensor in great danger. I wouldn't get near it even if I wanted to use the person's content.

Thanks for the comment!
