* Ali Reza Hayati <a...@gnu.org> [2021-04-09 21:20]:Hello guys. Can anybody help me with choosing a license for a blog other than Creative Commons? I want to use GNU FDL 1.3 but I'm not sure if that's fine for audio/video too. Can we use GFDL for audio and video too? If not, what copyleft license do you suggest to use, other than Creative Commons ones?Choosing a general license for one whole blog is not best idea, as you may host on your blog diverse pieces and types of text and media, each of them being licensed differently. - software, each software may have some different license, even if software is as a listing there. - instructions, such could be published under the GFDL, as people may be free to adopt, modify it; be it text, video, media, or presentation; - you could host images, or media with different licenses, so you have to consider those, for each thing specific license; you may even post copyrighted images, as there are various liberties, for example for purposes of commenting, scientific purposes, educational purposes, etc. - you can host opinions, so if it is about opinions, then you could use something like following: Verbatim Copying and Distribution Copyright © 2021 by AUTHOR. Verbatim copying and distribution of this entire article are permitted worldwide, without royalty, in any medium, provided the copyright notice, the document’s official hyperlink and this permission notice are preserved. It is not required to retain page headings and footers or other formatting features. Retention of weblinks in both hyperlinked and non-hyperlinked media (as notes or some other form of printed URL in non-HTML media) is required. Or for opinions, you would use: Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License as on: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/ and see example here: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/philosophy.html This is because opinions should not be modified, and you should protect yourself. Imagine following short statement, expanded into whole article: "Ali Reza has opinion that we shall build free culture." Now comes the website visitor, sees the GFDL, and thus modifies the article to the meaning of: "Ali Reza proposes proprietary software on all home and office desktops." That would make no sense. Opinions are personal and shall be respected as such. Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns Sign an open letter in support of Richard M.
