This is an interesting post. Thanks for the info. I would also recommend you to publish your article to multiple other sites with your original canonical link ( POSSE) quickly after you publish the original. This AFAIK should increase the legitimacy of your article and there by make the leech articles to come down on search engines. Do correct me if I am wrong here.
Another interesting aspect others should think about ( not the author since his work is copyrighted) is license. If you use Creative commons licenses, make sure you use Attribution-NoDerivs (CC BY-ND) or Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs CC BY-NC-ND. Every other licenses in CC AFAIK lets you make derivatives. All they have to do is attribute you. Which doesn't enforce linking it as canonical links. You will lose traffic here as well.
I'm a former teacher writing articles about software development and everything around it. My ambition is to provide people all around the world with free education and humorous reading.

Great point there with licenses, that's something people often forget to think about :)
