I've decided to remove any restrictions on my copyright on Silicon Valley Watcher. Anybody can use my work freely, and they can make money off of it, as long as I am recognized as the author and all links in the article including back to SVW remain in place.

That's all I ask, if you want to use my work then please give me the proper attribution. Don't just grab it and use it as a honey pot for Google AdSense and strip out my authorship and the links in the article. I'm letting you use it for free and all I ask is attribution--doing the right thing won't cost you a penny and it will avoid any legal issues too.

Why am I doing this? I'll give you one half of my answer: there is no decent business model for online journalism right now...
