[open-science] text-mining licence exemplar

[Heather Piwowar]

Anthony, apologies, I lost track of the fact that you said T&F specifically
won't go for a CC license.

Then I'd suggest, off the cuff: anyone may analyze the content in any way
for any purpose, and redistribute excerpts and facts that result from such
analysis.

The principles here may also be of help?

Sincerely,
Heather
