Suppose I had a table in a database. This table contains user profile information. Each profile has: Name, birthdate, username, mini-bio, gender.
My question:
Suppose I wanted to make the "mini bio" column open source but wanted to keep "age" closed source, could I do this?
The old "you're the owner" comes up again... yes, you could. The only problem here is the implementation.
To implement this, you simply need to make the mini-bio column publically available, perhaps through a UI on a website. You can keep the rest of the database private. You can then say at the bottom of each page
mini-bios licensed under cc-by-sa with attribution required
and it's open-source.
