I find it pretty irritating that websites don’t put that they allow the free republication of their articles publicly. It’s like why are they not proud of that!

The last example I noticed is Canary Media, basically if you saw their website they have almost no mention of that at all.

Till you notice one day this page: https://www.canarymedia.com/about/republish-our-stories

Why is this page not exposed more to the normal visitors who might like to support the libre culture more?

    Probably because they would prefer you to read the article on their site, where they receive ad revenue.

    Maybe it’s because most ‘normal’ visitors are just readers that aren’t looking to republish anything?

    A good question, though. That made me realize I had no mention of copyright/Free usage on my tiny (and uninteresting) website. Maybe something I should change. But I will not add that under each page, it will be listed in the About ;)
