dispatches from here

The purpose of this project is to learn, raise awareness, and share knowledge. I strongly feel that information and knowledge should be free and open, and as a result all of the postings on this blog, including text and pictures, are published under the Creative Commons license. If you aren’t familiar with Creative Commons, you should definitely check it out. It’s a way to publish content and maintain certain copyright protections, but also allow others to make use of your work, even commercially. Essentially, it is the open source software model applied to other types of media.

Specifically, everything on this site is published under the Attribution Share Alike Creative Commons license, which means:

“This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work even for commercial reasons, as long as they credit you and license their new creations under the identical terms. All new works based on yours will carry the same license, so any derivatives will also allow commercial use.“

For example, one of my recent blog posts was picked up by Nuri Kino’s blog and translated into Swedish, with attribution. That’s remixed, tweaked, and shared. Awesome.
