Re: [Trisquel-users] Proposed Project: GOLD - Gaming on Linux Distribution

It appears I removed the statement regarding Stallman's policy from its  
context- I'm sorry for doing that (unfortunately, the original comment must  
remain). However, I am inclined to disagree with him that NC and ND clauses  
are OK. The latter, although probably not used particularly often, come  
dangerously close to prohibiting parody/mockery/mash-ups in some cases.  
Potentially this is an exaggeration of the problem, but even with fair use  
there seem to be quite regular cases of copyright obstructing freedom of  
expression.

NC is similar, although the issue here (for me) is 'commercial use' coming to  
encompass instances in which the art is part of the service being sold. I'm  
not sure if there are any documented instances of this coming to a head, but  
several possibilities spring to mind: a vendor of discs containing GNU/Linux  
distributions, an ad-supported blog, etc.
