What can I do if I offer my material under a Creative Commons license and I do not like the way someone uses it?
If someone has made an adaptation of your CC-licensed work in a way that you
no longer wish to be associated with, the adapter must comply with a request
that your name be removed. (See Section 3(a)(3) of CC 4.0 legal codes.)
If you believe that someone is using your work in a way that is violating the
license terms——for example, not giving correct credit, or using an NC work
commercially, we have a guide on license enforcement here:
What to do if Your CC-Licensed Work is Misused.
Do I have to provide my name? Can I ask that my name be removed?
As a licensor, you may choose to receive under any name that you wish, such as
a pseudonym or pen name, or you may choose not to be credited by name at all,
and to publish anonymously. You do not have to be credited under your legal name.
Most jurisdictions permit this, but you should check to be sure this is valid
in your jurisdiction.
