Copyleft

17 September 2008 by Simon Mone

I came across this concept today and had to tell someone. I am working from home and my wife is out with the kids so I can't bore them with it so, onto the blog it goes.

Copyright can be used to prohibit buyers/users/etc of some IPR product like software or music from redistributing it or changing it and so on. Copyleft does the opposite - it permits the redistribution or remodelling of IPR. The concept is not so new to me - Open Source is an example - I just thought the idea of the 'play on words' as Wikipedia put was ...I can't think of the right word. As an ex-English teacher it grates but as someone who works in a geek filled industry (I was never a good enough developer to be a true geek myself) it somehow seems to make sense.

One thing I do like, the logo.

Positive thinking won't let you do anything but it will let you do everything better than negative thinking will.

Is it cheaper to buy digital prints, or get a photo printer and print you own?

When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Thanks!
