[Reader-list] Collaborative Cultural Production and Open Licenses

[Lawrence Liang]

Hi all

A number of people in this list are already familiar with the ideas of Free
software, open source and in recent times, there has  been a great deal of
excitement about what it means to translate some of the terms of the FLOSS
movement into the domain of cultural collaboration and production. The
plethora of initiatives  have also given rise to a multiplicity of licenses,
and sometimes it is still a little  confusing.

I was in a residency at the Piet Zwart Institute earlier this year, and have
written two pieces, one is a longish article on Open Content Licenses and
Cultural production, and the other is a small book / guide on open content
licenses. (If any one wants a gratis copy of the booklet, do write to Piet
Zwart).

Both are now available online, and on a Creative Commmons non commercial
sharealike license (for more on the license have a look at the guide :) so
do feel free to use, create version, rescensions, and any feedback /
criticism would be appreciated
