I am the sole author. I'm thinking of releasing it as CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 for my

If FSF or any other free software friendly organization prefers to distribute

That is what I argued for too.
You can specify, in the copyright notice, that the scripts are distributed

that the remaining of the thesis is distributed under the CC BY-ND 3.0

As indicated by Cyberhawk having a non-PAE CPU does not really hurt.
Simply install the version of Trisquel matching your CPU type (64 Bit / 32
Bit). Technically speaking there is very little benefit of installing the 64

Since it is your thesis, can't you just release it somewhere else under GFDL

Why is it a problem that you have no PAE? If you got more than 4GB memory,
choose the 64-Bit version of Trisquel. If your CPU can't compute in 64-Bit
mode (pretty much impossible by now), use the 32-Bit version of Trisquel
anyway (it will only see 4GB of memory in this case).
The reason I say that users typically choose convenience over freedom is that

DRMs are wrong. Basing them on free software would not make them right.
"Normal" encryption allows two things: 1) it guarantees the identity of the
message you are receiving; 2) it prevents other people listener in the middle
to understand the message. It does not prevent you to do anything w

Hi,
About the license, I don't yet know the exact CC license types which I can
use. Would "Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported (CC BY-ND 3.0)" be suitable, by
the way? I'm not really an expert when it comes to CC licenses.
Why assume that? You don't say that a huge giant dies just because its little

The only free licenses Creative commons has are:

I agree with you on the other points. But I don't think that most people
