= Creative Commons (cc) = == event == International summer school "Digitization and its Impact on Society" Technische Universität Dresden September 29 - October 5, 2013 [2013-09-29 -- 2013-10-05] http://linguistik.zih.tu-dresden.de/digitization/ http://openaccess.tu-dresden.de/ocs/index.php/digitization/summerschool13/schedConf/overview 2013-10-01 Tuesday "(cc") - duration 2 hours. max 40min talk. some tasks. and discussion. == goal == introduce the concept of the creative commons license. show some implications and impact to the internet. == origin == http://www.guckes.net/talks/2013-09-29-05.digitization.txt == license == (cc) Sven Guckes cc-by 2013-10-01-summer-school@guckes.net Latest change: Fri Jul 19 02:42:23 CEST 2013 == background == background: math+cs. i like free software - and all free things. :) this means: "i am not a lawyer" (IANAL) and no economist, either. so expect a talk about some nerdy stuff from the internets. = Creative Commons = a lot of free *software* runs on these licenses: * BSD, GPL, LGPL (and a few dozen more ;-) 1984: FSF, RMS, and all that freedoms: open source code, install any amount of times, use for *any* purpose allows adaption by change, and copying on (including changes). "any purpose" also allows all bad ones... do we need a license which excludes this? some people say YES and are working on it. but not all digital or digitized works are software. there're pictures and sounds (aka "multimedia" ;-). but to many people those licenses are "much too free". even though the creators would like to share their works as "data" - they would like to impose some demands on these things: eg attribution of creator, commercial application, and restriction to license of derivative works. (in short: creator, money, derivative works) so we'll talk about "creative works" - which are to be *shared* in a *digital* way. (did someone say "digitization"?) so here's "creative commons": it is to fill the gap between "all rights reserved" (copyright) and "it's all free" (eg copyleft and free software) so the slogan of creative commons describing the gap in between is: "some rights reserved". == licenses == logo/sign: (cc) * cc-by = Attribution (Commercial) * cc-by-nd = Attribution (Commercial) No Derivatives * cc-by-sa = Attribution (Commercial) Share Alike * cc-by-nc = Attribution Non-Commercial * cc-by-nc-nd = Attribution Non-Commercial No Derivatives * cc-by-nc-sa = Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike note: all NC and ND make the work NON-free! the "non-commercial" takes away the right to use the data in a commercial aspect, and the "non-derivative" takes away the "remix". specials: * cc0 NO rights reserved --> public domain * version 3.0? * country for jurisdiction.. three forms of each license: * for people * for computers * for lawyers == history == 2001 - founded 2002 feb - first article 2002 dec - first set of licenses ... (magic happens) 2008 - ca 130million works licensed 2011 oct - flickr hosts 200million (cc) pics. 2011 - 100 affiliates in 70 countries (source: wikipedia) == relevance == typical wikipedia question: is it relevant? hell, yeah! == big players == who uses (cc)? flickr, wikipedia; ebay, google, microsoft, nike, red hat TEDx: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNZBSZD16cY [Beatbox Brilliance: Tom Thum at TEDxSydney] the talk is licensed with "by-nc-nd" CC in use with pics of Aaron Swartz: http://ragesoss.com/blog/2013/07/12/the-use-aaron-swartz-photographs/ == impact == education. BIG! ENORMOUS! HUGE! (what did you expect?) with licenses like (cc) the work on data opens up to collaboration. people form global communities.. (etc.. yadda yadda.. see the 1990s) but *legally* so - between "all mine" and "everyone's". [examples] of course this also poses new problems of ownership and inheritance - but hopefully the lawyers figure it out to keep the possibilities for everyone. [TODO] "i have a dream: give everyone on earth a copy of all open data, knowledge, libraries.." probably leads to this: "hard disk to heavy error" okay.. give everyone *access* to all (open) data? do we need to create this right? no, it exists: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_Internet_access "Finland: By July 2010, every person in Finland was to have access to a one-megabit per second broadband connection, according to the Ministry of Transport and Communications. And by 2015, access to a 100 Mbit/s connection." i hope we shall all try to add to the information with creativity, and with scientific facts. incidentally - the projects PRISM and THEORA take your tax money to take *copies* of everything (illegally or without anyone's consent), but they hand out nothing of these to anyone. now, kids, what is wrong with this picture? (if you dont like it, dont give them money.) how we can solve the usual problems: * bandwidth. -> local mirrors * access control - do we really need it? example: Jack Andraka: Detecting pancreatic cancer.. at (age) 15 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq4x8C6Dcf8 Jack Andraka is a fifteen year old .. He recently developed a novel paper sensor that could detect pancreatic, ovarian, and lung cancer in 5 minutes for as little as 3 cents. he signed off his talk with these words: ".. you could be changing the world with this stuff you do on the internet. so - if i had done all my research on google and wikipedia.. and i'm a fifteen-year-old.. imagine what you could do!" will this solve all of our problems? probably not all. but maybe some?! however, i leave you with this thought: what if the cure to cancer/hiv.. was trapped in the brain of a person who cannot afford education? maybe we should open up more data and possibly license it with (cc) to allow for more participation. thanks for listening.. == eco+law == as for the impact on economics+law: IANALNE (i am neither a lawyer nor economist. ;-) == ideas == some more things to look at: * registered commons. * registration of data through bitcoin transaction with data hash. workshop: at the beginning of the session, open a text pad for everyone to write in. after the talk, make everyone add his name. let everyone discuss whether the resulting text shall be put online and under which license. software license: software was a by-product which was shipped with hardware. only when software could be re-used and applied to other machines by means of compilers it became a product of its own. precompiled to CPUs it was put on data media (like floppies), put into boxes and shipped with paper as products of its own. however, software as algorithms was put into libraries and became re-usable. together we are standing on the shoulders of libraries which are standing on the shoulders of CPUs which are standing on the shoulders of highly integrated circuits which are standing on the shoulders of the giants of computer scientists and mathematicians of hundreds of years ago. my personal experiences with software: maintenance of code is tied to lives. person dies -> maintenance dies. the bus factor.
