Creative Commons is a NGO financed by Google (we are not evil :-))) and HP , invented and promoted by a Prof of Law from Havard, Larry Lessig.
The same University that costs 25.000 per semester for a student , in Europe or in any other country of the world this will pay at least one year of studies and in same cases all the masters course. I am not against USA or Havard, i find for example Howard Gardner a great professor. Some goverments are adopting this license without even think about, the interests behind, who benefit from that ? Why the British goverment didnt accepted ? Free Software, Free Culture - this terms should be rethinked it is like Digital Culture - Are you free ? What is freedom ? Are we living under the digitalization of cultures instead of "digital culture" ? > Date: Mon, 14 Nov 2011 21:47:47 +0000 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [NetBehaviour] My Lawyer is an Artist: Free Culture Licenses as > Art Manifestos. > > On 14/11/11 21:36, Secret Artist wrote: > > what's the difrence between copyleft and creative commons ? > > Copyleft is a particular way of licencing a copyrighted work in order to > restore the freedom that copyright removes.
