Greeting to all you here. It was mentioned by Mr. Stutz, that I might find this list
interesting
and helpful. So here�s my introduction to the community:
My name is Alexander Zimmerman (though I have gone by, and may go again
by, other
names). By degree I am a librarian. In actuality I am traveling for a spell � about
to leave
Albuquerque and head to Maine. By necessity and love I am a writer. Mostly fiction,
once in a
great while - a poem.
I feel strongly that I would like my writing copylefted or something
similar, but I
have just starting to think about it practically � as opposed to abstractly, off in
the back of my
head somewhere - because I have some work that is finished. In particular I am
interested in the
use of copyleft (and other similar licensing) with the printing of actual physical
books, not just
on the Net.
In spirit of full disclosure, I must admit I know nothing about Linux.
Well, nothing
technically I mean....Of course I�ve heard of it and know what it�s about. And
although I
realized that this list is half named for Linux, I still thought it would be
beneficial for me to
hang out and see what was being discussed on the �free art� side of things.
I would be happy to hear from others who have used copyleft or even
�unrestrictive
licenses� with their art work, particularly fiction, poetry, painting, or photography
- especially
if this copyleft or other license is used on physical works, not just online works.
Responding Onlist is fine, but if it�s bothersome to others and off the
current
topic, than offlist works too (I have just started browsing the archives for relevant
posts.....)
Well, that�s it for now. Off to make soup and drink sangria.
