One thing I'm not so happy about with this is that all of the video that Carl Malamud posts is now indicated that it is CC:BY. It is plainly not. The video that Carl posts (under the username PublicResource.Org) is public domain material from the US Government that is simply digitized (thus no new copyrightable aspects, thus not able to be CC licensed as CC licenses depend on copyright to work). I just asked Carl this very question on Twitter, we'll see if he responds. https://twitter.com/#!/g_gerg/status/76339467803308032 Greg -- | Greg Grossmeier | | http://grossmeier.net | _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freeculture.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss FAQ: http://wiki.freeculture.org/Fc-discuss
