thought you guys should now about this late-breaking change to the License Formerly Known as Sampling:

Ouch. Any info on what the thinking is/was on this change?? As project leads on creating this thing, I am confused and dissapointed that we were not part of this decision. We had some lengthy discussions about what to call it ages ago.

Pardon my bluntness, but I actually think it's a rather dumb name. Way too cute sounding, and it's actually confusing as no one knows what it means- I don't think that the art world needs yet another term to describe this stuff when there are so many already. It's a bad idea. If you wanted a basic name that conveys what it is, is functional, and includes all art forms ( as I always thought that the term "sampling" is in the publics mind as being a music term, and therefore rather limiting, but you guys insisted on it as I recall ) then why not just call it the "Collage" license? Something like that would have been best. Or am I missing something here? Maybe I am. Maybe Don will like it?
