¡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!
