Christopher Sean Morrison via License-discuss dixit: >This exploration is a beautiful change of pace that I can get behind,
Agreed, something positive for once! […] >across multiple projects, but I actually don’t perceive any of it as >“my code” even where the inception, authorship, and sharing are 100% >me. > >In my world view, the code belongs to all and can’t or at least >shouldn’t be “owned” once it’s Open. I wrote it, but it’s not “mine”. >It WAS mine … before I shared it, before it was “performed”, before it […] Let me contribute a counter interpretation: It’s mine, I crafted the work, so I have a certain amount of pride in it (“Werksstolz” in German). However I’m standing on the shoulders of giants (those who created Unix/BSD, MuseScore, the canon of the fandom I’m writing fanfics for, etc.) and therefore cannot even think of not publishing my work under Copyfree terms (doesn’t mean I don’t wish for some kind of recognisation sometimes though). That’s incidentally also one of the reasons for me to proactively choose “copycentre”/Copyfree over copyleft (which I used to use for a few years): it doesn’t matter if a company “steals” my work and “makes it¹ proprietary” — au contraire, it increases my pride. It, after all, must have been good enough they chose it over something else or doing it themselves from scratch. (My work being shipped on over 2½ billion active Android devices is probably something we agree I can be proud of. Even if it is just a side project of the thing I really want to do.) ① Not it anyway — just their copy of it. >To quote author Ursula Le Gain, “Nothing is yours. It is to use. It >is to share. If you will not share it, you cannot use it.” Of course, I >accept my world view is unconventional and to each their own. Ooh, I need to read more Ursula Le Gain. Thanks for the quote! bye, //mirabilos -- FWIW, I'm quite impressed with mksh interactively. I thought it was much *much* more bare bones. But it turns out it beats the living hell out of ksh93 in that respect. I'd even consider it for my daily use if I hadn't wasted half my life on my zsh setup. :-) -- Frank Terbeck in #!/bin/mksh _______________________________________________ License-discuss mailing list License-discuss@lists.opensource.org http://lists.opensource.org/mailman/listinfo/license-discuss_lists.opensource.org
