Hi Diannaa - I received a notice regarding copyright of the Principles of Future-Proofing and sent an e-mail back to wiki@wikimedia.org regarding your concerns and including permission to include them on Wikipedia under a CC BY-SA version 3.0 license. I am indeed the creator of both pieces of information you've been looking at. The slideshare presentation is for my Masters thesis work and I have taken the Principles and posted them on Wikipedia. Please restore the information you have deleted. A copy of my copyright permission e-mail is below (I have deleted portions of my name for security reasons):
