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.

Who owns open knowledge? The two types of licence to consider when making books open access
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?
[BLOG] Continuing last week's #OAWeek theme @alittleroad.bsky.social has written about #OA licences for books π
βWho owns open knowledge?
βWhat are the implications of different types of open licence?
βWho makes decisions about reuse in the case of more restrictive licences?
