This page is to capture thoughts around best practices with the Libre Puro License if such a license existed. It does not require attribution, and requires derived works to be released under a license which perpetuates the four freedoms derived from those of free software.
The Libre Puro Licence decouples abuses of data, information and knowledge from the act of making a copy.

Attribution
Where appropriate (e.g.) in an academic context, acknowledge sources as one normally would (even if the sources are public domain).
If you decide to mix a Libre Puro resource with other libre resources which require attribution, then remember to comply with the conditions of the license for the derived work. If it requires attribution, acknowledge the Libre Puro resource which is now a potentially modified component simply by indicating that the work incorporates libre puro components and provide the URLs where appropriate.
Social attribution: some Libre Puro resources might not acknowledge sources. The most common reason is that they were developed in a context which did not require attribution (e.g. kids mixing resources for fun and sharing them with their friends). It might be useful to have a service somewhere for technology enhanced "social attribution" - i.e. the community may help authors and users to identify and acknowledge previous contributors where appropriate. This practice enhances the spirit of collaboration and appreciation of the efforts of contributors.
Commercial Use
Consider the original authors/ contributors (if known) and whether they are worthy of any financial returns. It may be courteous to ask permission to use a resource commercially, even though the Libre Puro license does not require this.
Fair Use
Fair use ... Fair dealing ....
Accessibility
Where time and resources permit, take the trouble to make a resource accessible.
The license permits anyone to offer the service (professionally or voluntarily) of rendering Libre Puro resources accessible.
