Copyrighteous

Thanks for sharing that; coherent and readable. I see the difference in approaches as FSF focusing on what benefits the community of users and developers, whereas CC focuses on the feelings of the individual creator, ironically not making a strong argument for the good of the commons at all.

"Other projects are underway to provide buttons that users of qualifying CC licenses can use to explicitly reference their ethical motivations when they reference the license of their work" - out of curiosity, what is that in reference to?

I appreciated the article "Free Culture Advanced."  The article does a great job explaining the CC and contrasting with FS. 

I was a bit curious as to the copyright on the copyrighteous blog? I could not find any other notice then the (c) in the lower right hand corner.  It this an intentional choice, if so why?

PS:
the link to freedomdefined.org from the article is giving a 404 error because the URL is directed to http://mako.cc/writing/freedomdefined.org.

Brian: There are a series of reason why I've not put this blog under an explicit license although inertia is one reason. I frequently include content/images under other licenses, reproduce copyrighted content,  and find it hard to commit to a single license for every post.

If there is something you want to use, please send me a line and I will, in all likelihood, be happy to grant permission to use it under the CC BY-SA license and, potentially, under more permissive licenses as well.

Thanks for the hint about the link.
