Thanks Peter for pointing out video.google. I remember going through the site to see documentaries so was surprised when Alexandro said there was a time limit. My bad, thought that the video.google had been merged with youtube. Good to know it's still alive. Anyways, I have blocked OOOCon usernames on youtube and vimeo FWIW. I like vimeo because the quality is so much better. Anyways, will pass on the details to the admin if required.
Peter, I would suggest http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/Atrribution-ShareAlike license from CreativeCommons. This is because it allows people to adapt the videos as they deem fit as long as it is attributed to OO and the resulting works will also be licensed under the same license thereby ensuring that derivative works will also be public-domain. Does anyone know if there any commercial interests in these videos? For e.g., a documentary about open-source or the open-soruce community? Even if there is such an interest, the good thing about CC is that it allows case-by-case exceptions as long as they are approved by the original content author. BTW, who is the author or the "owner" of these videos exactly? Would like to hear other peoples comments Regards, Sagar On Fri, Jan 9, 2009 at 8:12 AM, Peter Junge <[email protected]> wrote: > Alexandro Colorado wrote: > > First is the lenght limit.
