… got an e-mail from someone who wants to reuse an article I wrote.

I said, absolutely. Just two conditions:

1. You can’t change any of the words.

2. You need to include this blurb with the article:

Sharing your original content with others who want to republish it is good for you and good for them.

Asking them to include a brief bio and link back to your web site is even better.
