I think this only work if the new generation is not stealing the work, but building on it, recognizing the importance of the past in their present. It goes with a respect for the authors and their decisions.
Culture and not cultural appropriation.
(In science - since you took the shoulder analogy - this is also important, as you need to be able to doubt your foundation if you want to build on top of it)
PS: while I use the word stealing, I do not think of this primarily in economic terms, it is more personal than that (can't really explain what I mean here, sorry, seems it is not yet clear in my mind...)

@jcolomb@nerdculture.de Copyright is an option. Open culture advocates reject that construct. It's similar to the free & open source software movement. It's hard to explain in this forum. However, @nina@neenster.org explains the philosophy very succinctly in the first 14mins of this TEDx talk. I would encourage to take a look. And the last four minutes is an animated excerpt from a movie she made that is both entertaining and very relevant to what is going on in the Middle East. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XO9FKQAxWZc @gutenberg_org@mastodon.social
