Rights: Richard Mitchell passed away before Creative Commons licensing was created. However, he did grant a blanket permission to plagiarize his work. In his newsletter, The Underground Grammarian, Volume 9, Number 7, from November 1985:
Freedom of the Press and License, Too
WE are often asked permission to reprint or duplicate or in some other way to circulate the pieces that appear in THE UNDERGROUND GRAMMARIAN. It always seems to us a good idea, and we always grant such permission. In fact, you may take this little notice as prior written permission to do likewise in any fashion that seems good to you. We neither ask nor expect any form of payment, but we would like to be cited as the source. But if admitting that you read this sheet will get you into hot water, we will be the first to understand.Later, in 1991 (Volume 15, Number 1), he added this addendum:
ALSO, as you do or should know, permission to quote or to reprint any part or even all of any issue of THE UNDERGROUND GRAMMARIAN is invariably granted to anyone for any purpose. One reader write recently to apologize for plagiarism, since he had woven some of our stuff into a speech he had given and made no attribution. Since then we have also had word of a man who wrote, to the editor of some newspaper, a letter that was, in fact, made entirely of our words. The paper caught him, chastised him, and barred him from their letters column forever. Somehow, we feel that something only sort of like justice has been served here. So now we have to add a new rule. Plagiarism is also permitted. Go ahead. Make our day."Based on the above, and on Mr. Mitchell's explicit approval of posting his newletters and books online for free, it seems entirely plausible that he would have no objection to issuing his work under the CC0 license.
