¡Hello!
¿How Fare You?
Awhile ago, I did took an impromptu poll and determined that most
people hate CC-BY-NC-ND as being antithetical to the purpose as a
creative commons (one cannot build on them). We should remove CC-BY-
NC-ND from future versions of the licenses and reduce the scope of CC-
BY-ND to commercial works.
We should create all licenses along these lines:
0. - the freedom to run the work for any purpose (called "freedom
0"), at least noncommercially
1. - the freedom to study and modify the program ("freedom 1"), at
least noncommercially
2. - the freedom to copy the work so you can help your neighbor
("freedom 2"), at least noncommercially
3. - the freedom to improve the work, and release your improvements
to the public, so that the whole community benefits ("freedom 3"), at
least noncommercially
In the meant time, I find that CC-BY-NC-ND is such an abomination,
that I do not feel bound by it. I shall follow the freedoms. To me,
CC-BY-NC-ND is CC-BY-NC. CC-BY-ND does not apply to noncommercial
works. I shall write all of the missing chapter I want for CC-BY-NC-
ND and CC-BY-ND and release them noncommercially. I shall encourage
others to do likewise.
CC-BY-NC-ND and CC-BY-ND applied to noncommercial works is
incompatible with the concept of a creative commons because one
cannot build on them.
¡Thanks!
¡Pax!
¡Health!
¡Bye!
