possible actions for media and text from a third-party (i.e. created by someone else)
:: RETAIN : keep the content because it is licensed under an open license or is in the public domain
:: REPLACE : you may want to replace content that is not openly licensed (and thus not shareable)
:: REMOVE : you may need to remove content due to privacy, endorsement, or copyright concerns
Example: medical-oriented cartoon• This is an example image.• This image is highly expressive.• While the image does express
an idea, which is not in and of itself protectable, there are creative choices made in that expression.
• There is no source information and no copyright notice.
• It may be difficult to find a replacement image that conveys a similar meaning.
