- A new way of publishing? Frank Duff’s novel Lysergically Yours (“Clandestine chemists accidentally open the doorway into new modes of human consciousness”) has been released under the Creative Commons Attribution/Non-Commercial/Share-Alike license – which means not only that the text of the novel can be freely distributed in any medium, but also allows anyone to create derivative works from the novel for any non-commercial purpose. Cool.
