Bradley and Karen
discuss non-commercial-only commons licenses, particularly the CC-By-NC
license, and how they compare to Free Culture and Free Software
licenses, and why some authors pick NC licenses instead of Free
Culture/Software ones.


Show Notes:

Segment 0 (00:36)



Listeners seeking a show on how to select a Free Software license,
differences between copyleft and non-copyleft, and how they interact with
copyright are encouraged to listen to
episode 0x08 of the old Software Freedom Law Show which
covered these topics. Please write in again if that show doesn't
cover your questions on the issue. (02:10)

Bradley reminisced about the crass “Brian and O'Brien”
show on Baltimore's B-104 Gary
Huddles who was notorious locally in Baltimore because he was implicated
in Maryland's version of the 1980s Savings and Loan scandals.
(03:30)

Karen mentioned that freedomdefined.org is the
source for the Free Culture definition that defines what licenses are Free
Culture licenses. (12:54)

Bradley suggested listening to some of the old versions of RMS' Copyright vs. Community in the
Age of Computer Networks. In fact, there is an audio
recording of the one
at MIT on 19 April 2001 that Bradley attended, and an audio
recording of the one that Bradley heard at Cardozo Law
School. There is audio
of the Q&A session, wherein RMS engages in that discussion Bradley
mentioned with Free Culture activists. (10:10, 14:04)

Bradley mentioned that Linus
Torvalds switched to GPL for Linux because he realized non-commercial restrictions
weren't appropriate. (Search the string GPL on that link to find Linus'
answer on that.) (19:00)

Karen mentioned that Creative Commons did a study
considering what people understand commercial vs. non-commercial to
mean. (20:43)

Karen and Bradley discussed the text of
CC-By-NC. (23:00)

Karen mentioned various CC-By-SA licensed derivatives that had been
made from Sita Sings the
Blues. (38:24)

Bradley discussed the Harry
Potter Lexicon case and Karen mentioned the so-called IP
Colloquium discussion on it. (44:30)

Bradley mentioned Memory Alpha, which is a
CC-By-NC wiki regarding Star
Trek, which is tolerated by Paramount. (45:20)
