I do! It's a nice, /positive/ way to show your support for free culture to your professor and anyone else looking at your papers. I emphasize "positive" because I think that we and other activists often talk about things that we don't like and things that should change (which makes sense--lots of things should change!). It's always refreshing (and maybe less off-putting to an uninformed audience) to make a positive statement.

Also, I sometimes (and I should do this more often) post my papers on my blog, even though they suck. Openly licensed content can be useful in unexpected ways. Once, someone emailed me to tell me that she was using one of my essays in a seminar about writing! It was a pretty bad piece--I honestly think that she was using it as an example of something of something you're /not/ supposed to do. But still, it was cool that someone else got a little nugget of usefulness out of something that would have otherwise just sat on my hard drive--and all I had to do was copy/paste it into my web browser. (Feel free to tell me that I'm doing it wrong and should be using the GFDL.) -- http://www.madebyparker.com _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://freeculture.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss FAQ: http://wiki.freeculture.org/Fc-discuss
