With the help of the AIs, I pioneered this, which the AI itself called its "progressive" license, lol. What do you guys think? I should publish this license faster than spending time worrying about what others or I think.

I named it "Progressive Creative Honour Licence" because the license is evolving to adapt to the current circumstances, both online and offline, especially moral issues. I use the date and time as the version name.

Publishing design files and instructions is only the first step. Sharing technology and inviting collaboration requires a licence. Only the license makes it clear under which conditions the knowledge can be reused.

Das Veröffentlichen von Designfiles und Anleitungen ist nur ein erster Schritt. Um eine Entwicklung zu teilen und zur Zusammenarbeit einzuladen braucht es auch eine Lizenz. Erst durch die Lizenz wird deutlich, unter welchen Bedingungen das Wissen weiterverwendet werden kann.
Wir haben in einem kleinen Blogpost festgehalten, was es bei der Lizenzierung von #OpenSourceHardware für Möglichkeiten gibt.

The openness of AI models cannot be reduced to just their licensing — says @mweinberg in his recent post, drawing from experience with open hardware. In this note, we explain why we agree with Mike's position 👉 https://openfuture.eu/note/mike-weinberg-on-open-licensing/ #AI #OpenLicense

Best thing I've seen (so far) today, someone has made #AI create a song where the singer recites the #MITLicense

See the post at the unmentionable site: https://x.com/goodside/status/1775713487529922702?s=20

I think all Open Licenses should be distributed this way :-)

We have gathered a list of recently published open science guides that help researchers in the Netherlands navigate open science.

The guides cover topics such as pre-prints, open licenses, and how to apply open science in practice. All guides are open access and are available via the open repository Zenodo.

https://www.rug.nl/library/open-access/blog/practical-guides-on-open-science-for-researchers-in-the-netherlands

The list will be updated as more guides are published.

I bought a pile of lumber to make a workbench. I’m following the plans from “The Anarchist's Workbench”: https://lostartpress.com/collections/books/products/the-anarchists-workbench

(The book was released with an #openlicense (CC BY NC), and there’s a free download, which is very cool.)

Has anyone out in #woodworking mastodon made one of these?

From @Dunleavy: "Thanks to…#OpenAccess, [#book #chapters now] rival journal articles in their visibility to academic communities [&] their usefulness as teaching resources."
https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2023/03/07/is-writing-a-book-chapter-still-a-waste-of-time/

This is true. Don't be afraid to publish an article-length work as a book chapter rather than an article. But if the book won't be OA, don't forget to insist on retaining the right to make your chapter OA through a #repository, with an #OpenLicense and no #embargo.

Btw it's been long since I had any interest in finding open license music. The only source I know is Kevin McLeod's page.

Any other recommendations?

Ok, so, regarding all that WotC nonsense, now “we won the battle” (I’m not that naive, I’m more cyberpunk). What are you going to do now? Are you returning to D&D, are you vouching for the Open Licenses projects? Any other plans? #ogl #dnd #openlicense

If you’re interested in continuing to run #DnD / #5e but wizards is making you cringe. I highly advise En Publishing’s Advanced 5E. It seriously breathed new life into my game and if I ever have players begging for 5e I’ll be including these books. Also, it’ll likely be under #orc or other #openlicense

"Open License

Copyright Holders can choose to issue an open license to their Work if they want others to freely build with, customize, or improve the Work. Open licenses give permission to anyone to use the work without cost and minimal restrictions on modifications."

I think that this over-focuses on the royalty-free / gratis part of the arrangement, rather than the liberties.

@marcellaflamme Yes, there are different opinions of what's preferable. I didn't argue with that.

I'm just curious why #CreativeCommons NC was considered preferable here.

If we want to talk terminology...

FreedomDefined.org can be used for a definition of a #FreeLicense, opendefinition.org for a definition of an #OpenLicense.

#Punctum doesn't seem to argue that NC is an open license.

Terms like "gratis #OpenAccess" are available to reduce confusion, see Peter Suber's classic book.
