  You can't make the amuta for "everything" because the Rasham needs to
verify the goals. An NPO may have secondary goals, and they do not have to
give any funding towards these goals. For example, one of the goals of
Hamakor is to invite open-source figures to Israel and cater for them. We
have never done such activity. Many well-known NPOs have secondary goals
that allow them to take part in inter-NPO partnerships. Even if a separate
open-content NPO will emerge, having open content on Hamakor's charter will
allow for easier colloboration on joint ventures with that NPO.

   I am sorry, but you are wrong. The goals of an NPO specify what an NPO
is
allowed to do, and does not by any means assign proirities between these
goals. NPOs commonly add goals to their charter which they do not actively
pursue in order to not limit their activities. An NPO is not allowed to
use
funds or other resources for anything but furhtering the goals, but the
allocation of funds is entirely to the discretion of the board (or the
general assembly).

Maybe if HaMakor will deal with some other subjects, some more people will
volunteer to help with those subjects. The Amuta greatest resources are
its
volunteers and their actions, not the threads in the mailing-lists.



Then maybe we should deal with poor kids?
or hungry people in somalia?
Should get a lot of people to help. And you still haven't told me how you
will make sure that those people won't take over the amuta
and completly change its ajenda.

Let me ask you similar questions. What do you consider open source? Is BSD
license more open than GPL, or not? Is LGPL less pure than GPL? Do you
think
that the Takanon is the place to specify which license is open source and
which
one is not? The same goes with open content licenses.



Yes, maybe then we wouldn't have had stupid BSD vs GPL arguments.
YYou want to make the same mistake again?

From the few discussions we had on the list, not many people agree which

license is concidered free for content.
For example a lot of the people around here support the definion given by
debian, which doesn't treat CC as free.

The answer is that it's not an issue. The board will have to use its

collective
judgment and decide on each case. If you do not trust the board judgment
then
it is totally different issue, also irrelevant to the current suggestion.



No, I don't. isn't it my right to agree with the board of hamakor about free
software licenses and not agree with them about other political matters?
Now you want people to chose a board which they are with on both free
software and free content?

I think CC is also an amuta, but if not they should go ahead and make one.
With people are free content oriented, and you know what maybe some of the

Both wikipedia and the Ben Yehuda project(there is a lecture about it
today in Haifux, BTW) raise a lot more money than hamakor's yearly budget,
without hamakor's help.



Yes, so we should concentrate on FOSS IMOH.

However, wikipedia in Israel are considering creating an NPO. Using

hamakor for wikipedia's needs may help wikipedians by reducing the need
for beaurocracy, and by being entitled already for being tax deductable
donations, NOT by giving wikipedia money from the FOSS budget.



You are talking about completly different thing, about specifically helping
wikipedia people in a certain way, not about making hamakor deal with both
foss and free content. Even then why will hamakor want to do such a thing?
handling other people money involve legal risk ( hamakor will need to
monitor how they spend their money). This can also cause fighting between
what hamakor people might find risky or unethical to what wikipedia people
will want. Also it might cause wikipedia people to want to change certain
things in how hamakor is managed and since wikipedia has much more resources
hamakor is taking a risk of being sollowed with no apperent gain to its FOSS
purpose.

I don't think that discussion was relevant to "free content". "Free
content",
just like "free software" talks about the situation where the creators of
this content decided, of their own free will, to give the content away
freely. The "arguments" you remember about the Meretz law were about
people
who did *not* want to give away their content freely. But I didn't hear
anyone say that free content shouldn't exist, and that we shouldn't
encourage it (while not forcing everyone to publish their content as free
content).



Some people were supportive of drm, then yea you can encourage free content,
but while you enter the word content into the takanon
you need to decide about all aspects of it.


Therefore I don't see any point in changing the takanon as it is already

A couple of years ago, a discussion on this list concluded that the
Takanon
does *not* cover free content, and therefore the Amuta cannot support open
content projects like, for example, Wikipedia. So perhaps the Takanon does
need changing in this respect.



Why?
There is a reason why not all members of Hamakor are members of CC israel
and the other way around.
Once hamakor support and encourage free content it means part of its
resources are going to go to wikipedia
part of it is going to go to the very importent ben yehoda project and so
on. Spreading such a small amuta over so many subjects is dangrous.
Let CC do its work, we can back them up from the software aspect, but I
think it's a not so wise idea to make it an official goal.

Both wikipedia and the Ben Yehuda project(there is a lecture about it 
today in Haifux, BTW) raise a lot more money than hamakor's yearly budget, 
without hamakor's help.


However, wikipedia in Israel are considering creating an NPO. Using 
hamakor for wikipedia's needs may help wikipedians by reducing the need 
for beaurocracy, and by being entitled already for being tax deductable 
donations, NOT by giving wikipedia money from the FOSS budget.

I think previous discussions proved that there is no agreement amount the
members of Hamakor when it comes to free content.
(Look at the achieve for the discussion about the law offered by meretz).
Software is a tool and has a lot of points of connection with any other
field which is somehow computer related, by concentrating in the software
part of things we don't need to look at the content at all for example: be
anti software patents, against closed for implementation drm technologies
and like Shachar so will described against putting the limitation on the
software side.
Therefore I don't see any point in changing the takanon as it is already
covered by it.

שלום לכולם.

אני רוצה להוסיף ללו"ז של האספה הכללית הקרובה הצעה לשינוי בתקנון.
הוספת סעיף 8א':
לקדם ולתמוך בשימוש וביצירת תוכן חופשי (Free Content) ותוכן שיתופי (Open
Content).

רציונל:
תוכן חופשי ותוכנה חופשית הם שני צדדים של אותה אידיאולוגיה, ומוגנים ע"י
רשיונות
דומים. כך, גם האיומים על שניהם דומים. שניהם מושפעים ע"י חוקי זכות-יוצרים
בצורה
דומה. לכן יש לאפשר לעמותה לפעול גם בתחום זה, בהנתן הרצון והיכולת.

הערות, הארות ושינויי נוסח יתקבלו בברכה.

בברכה,

 יום שלישי ב-10:15 בבוקר.

 מעבר על רשימת המוזמנים מראה הרבה מאוד מייצגים של בעלי זכויות (מיקרוסופט,
חברת SAP, איגוד בתי התוכנה) ומעט נציגות לנציגי הצרכנים. יש להניח שצפוי שם
מאבק.

 אני מגיע כנציג "המקור", להציג קצת את הצד הצרכני של העניין. אם מישהו מעוניין
לעבור על חומר הרקע ולהוציא נקודות נוספות לאלו שאני מכיר, אני אשמח לשמוע
שירשורים פה.

 הדברים שאני מתכוון להעלות כרגע (לפני שעברתי על החוק עוד פעם):
 - לא לאסור פעולות טכנולוגיות (העתקה של הביטים ממקום למקום), לאסור פעולות של
משתמשים (העתקה והפצה של תוכנה ללא רשות)
 - החשיבות של לאפשר הינדוס לאחור, ללא תלות במטרה של ההינדוס (יש לי תקדים אחד
של מיקרוסופט שחיבלה ב-DR DOS. עוד מקרים שבהם ללא הינדוס לאחור היו אובדות
זכויות משתמשים בסיסיות יתקבלו בברכה).
 - החוק צריך לצאת מנקודת הנחה שהכל מותר למעט מה שאסור - אי אפשר לחזות מה ילד
מחר.

 אני תוהה אם להעלות את הנקודה המעט מסובכת שאומרת שמטרת החוק היא לאזן בין
התמריצים לייצור תוכנה, לבין הנזק המובנה במונופול (וכל זכויות יוצרים הם
מונופול). האינסטינקט שלי אומר לי שזהו טיעון קצת מורכב מכדי שאפשר יהיה להעביר
אותו בהקשר של ועדה של הכנסת בלי להראות כמו פנאטים עם רוק נוזל מזווית הפה.

 הצעות נוספות, כמו גם סימוכין נוספים לנקודות שכבר העלתי, יתקבלו בברכה.

Perhaps Eben Moglen lecture could prove to be useful for the above.
