Roshi7 Assignment (License Argument)

Page history last edited by PBworks 15 years, 8 months ago

Humans have certain basic needs, such as food, shelter and water. As social creatures, humans also have basic desires. One of the most prominent is the need for recognition, to be understood as a part of the larger picture. Artists know this drive well, as do politicians. In choosing a license for my wiki's, I realize that I do want recognition for my efforts. But instead of profit I want to contribute, in the spirit of the common good. For much of the world, profitability equals success. And profit will cover a multitude of sins (I have seen that personally). That is why for many the U.S. constitution is considered the cornerstone of business.

And while we are we are on the subject of profit, I found an interesting link that (sort of) ties our subject to the almighty dollar (or the euro?).

My favorite example of one work taken from another:

I chose the license on the provision that the work has to be shared with a similar license. It is only fair. And fairness is a subset of respect. And respect for others is ultimately a respect for myself.
