Ask HN: Copyleft Model for Literature?
Hey!
Does anyone see a Copyleft Licensing Model being "Mainstream Embraced" for literature, in the way that it has worked for operating systems like Linux?
Specifically one like the Creative Commons CC BY-SA ( https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ ) licensing model, for the purpose of creative collaboration that is simultaneously worthy of a "Commericialy Viable Pursuit" .. assuming such a thing applies to quality books in the first place ;)
Genuinely curious. Am an "aspiring writer" who is into World/Character creation but don't have anyone to talk about these kinds of ideas with.
Any insight would be appreciated.

There are various characters and shared universes that have been 'open sourced' in some way. Here are a couple of starting points:
