This is quite interesting! We should either buy it and dedicate to
public domain or OFL it, or lobby to get whoever to buy it to do the
same. :) Gustavo, wanna lead the charge?


They're only auctioning exclusivity for 12 months.

Man! I have a great idea for auctioning off rights in a ebay fashion but
to open content licenses only. I think a system like ebay that could
auction both the original and reproduction rights would be mega
successful and revalidate originality in the modern world. THink about
it, as the price of a reproduction goes up (aka, Scream or Mona Lisa),
the value of the original auction would only increase...anyway...its
kinda evil, but interesting to think about...
