-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This is not the first time someone in this thread has referred back to the Students for Free Culture organization or chapters, so I should be explicit that I've been talking about the "free culture movement" and not any specific organization.
But might there be some value in having a formal statement defining "free culture", to be jointly drafted/endorsed by the various groups in the sphere? I mean, we have a definition of "free cultural works", but we lack a joint vision statement of free culture as a movement.
