Yes, I think of it more in the context of photo and video integrity, but you can certainly imagine an unscrupulous individual rewriting something and changing the meaning. Of course, I doubt a license would stop that person.


Doesn't CC BY require to say what you changed?


If a person would ignore one part of a license, they may also ignore other parts.


... Then why would they care that it's ND?


Not really. You're supposed to attribute the original creator. And if I did make major changes/additions I'd find some way to flag that. But you don't have a Github-style change log.


Not really, but you can't just distribute a changed version as if it were original. That's just as illegal as if it were ND.
