Strictly speaking, this means that it is forbidden to copy the work in any way, shape or form, without the express consent of the copyright holder.

But this is too restrictive for many circumstances.

I often want you to copy, share and distribute my ideas, articles and publications. I ask only that you keep my name attached, don't change anything, and don't make money from them without getting me involved.

So instead of always having an "All Rights Reserved" policy, I often have a policy of "Some Rights Reserved" and use the Creative Commons licence known as "Attribution-Noncommercial-NoDerivativeWorks", which states that:

1. Attribution. You can copy and distribute the work so long as I am attributed as the author of the work.
2. Non-Commercial. It cannot be used to make a profit. (We can do a different deal for this - see below.)
3. No Derivative Works. The work must not be changed or built upon.

NB: If you want to make a profit from my work, please contact me for permission. I'm always happy to talk about how we can work together for mutual benefit!
