Non-profit investigative journalism organisation ProPublica is allowing its readers to republish full articles from its website.

The site had previously encouraged readers to "Steal Our Stories" by making its investigations data available online.

But a new "Republish" button at the top of articles, introduced as part of a site redesign, now makes the html of articles available to copy and paste elsewhere.

The articles are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs licence, which requires users to credit ProPublica with a byline and link. Articles cannot be edited except to reflect changes in time, location or editorial style.

In the UK, the Guardian recently launched a "plugin" feature for WordPress to allow users of the blogging software to embed whole Guardian.co.uk articles on their sites.
