I'm not a lawyer, but intellectual property is my specialty and the only thing that's pretty clear is that the moves for an individual game aren't protected by copyright. Collections of games, however, may be, depending on the collection, as are collections of other public information. This doesn't mean others can't collect that public information to make their own collection.
Annotations, it seems to me, are very clearly protected. I don't think they necessarily should be, and I see the argument against that position, but it is at the very least VERY murky. Which means to me that, to be safe, we would want an open project to do the work of collection, cleaning, etc.. but not implement the annotations of others. If those are brought in, they should be separate so as not to put the main project "at risk." c On Sun, Jan 9, 2011 at 4:32 AM, Benoit St-Pierre <benbon...@gmail.com> wrote: > Here are two videos on copyrights: > > http://blog.ted.com/2010/05/25/lessons_from_fa/ > http://www.ted.com/talks/larry_lessig_says_the_law_is_strangling_creativity.html > > Let's hope that this'll convince Alex that videos can be instructive ;-) > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Gaining the trust of online customers is vital for the success of any company > that requires sensitive data to be transmitted over the Web.
