Hi folks, It's been a while since the last FOSsil Bank update, both because I've been busy and because I haven't found many new works recently. I've also stopped adding most non-libre works when I come across them, which means this update has the greatest ratio of libre to non-libre works so far.
As always, if you know of works under public copyright licences (and, particularly, under free/libre/open licences) you can add them to the wiki yourself or email me and I'll add them. The same is also true for free/libre/open projects that are available for sale or are in the process of being crowdfunded, which I tweet about using the hashtag #FundFreeCulture. Dedication This update is dedicated to Aaron Swartz,<http://rememberaaronsw.tumblr.com/>who died on the 11th of January. #FundFreeCulture The Free Software Foundation is still running a membership drive.<http://www.reddit.com/r/freeculture/comments/14uvro/the_free_software_foundation_needs_your_support/> The FSF also has a Defective by Design drive<http://www.defectivebydesign.org/2012-appeal>going. Follow-up So You Want to Be a Librarian <https://unglue.it/work/76348/> successfully funded on unglue.it, though the libre edition is not yet available. It raised $2,682 of its $2,500 goal (this goal was revised down from the original of $9,000 before the campaign ended).
