This year’s #calOER2024 conference opens with a bang! @cablegreen’s keynote “Shifting to Community Owned & Operated Open Knowledge” launched us deep into the heart of current #OER issues. Key takeaway: “Buy what we need, own what we buy, share what we own.”

I notice that @okfn is hiring a lawyer to work on new/updated Open Data Commons licences

https://okfn.org/en/jobs/researcher-open-data-commons-licences/

Interesting gig for someone.

Looks like the licences will be based around this paper?

https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4662511

Wondered if anyone familiar with #opendata and #openlicensing had any opinions on the paper (I've not read it yet), or if there was more information about the project elsewhere?

#AI calls for a new perspective for #Open: "any definition of open should require a more complex analysis than simply looking at a license." @mweinberg

"In our work, we also advocate for a more nuanced definition of sharing as not just a matter of #openlicensing. We have been referring to the concept of the #commons as one that allows sharing to be defined in terms broader than just #licensing."

@pycascades has posted the list of sprint projects for Monday at https://2023.pycascades.com/program/sprints/
In addition to my live coding project and coverage.py, there will be sprints for Openverse and pyprojroot. Openverse is a search engine for images and audio with #OpenLicensing , and pyprojroot seems to be a productivity tool for #Python #DataScience projects.
Hope to see you there!

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

"We have the sole right to decide what conduct or content is hateful, and you
covenant that you will not contest any such determination via any suit or other legal action."

Being able to pursue those who do harm, especially to marginalized communities and other vulnerable people, is important.

But I hesitate to codify this in license terms, especially when the sole right is held by a single for-profit corporation.

"D&D personality Ginny Di tweeted that people should cancel their D&D Beyond subscription in order to send a clear message to Wizards of the Coast regarding what the fanbase thinks of the developments around the Updated #OGL, the message was widely shared. A stream of subscribers turning off their payment to D&D Beyond appeared to temporarily shut down the landing page for subscription cancellations because of server errors."

I'm sure you've all heard the buzz about Hasbro and WOTC's OGL shenanigans. We're here to say we support open licensing and the community, and all our games will have that. What they're trying to do is bullying at BEST, and downright criminal at worst. It especially impacts indie 3PP who make their brands and livelihoods based on this most popular of games.

@JamesGG @massonpj When people build websites, we teach them about #OpenLicensing, when people build open content, we take a little time to talk about the #OpenInfrastructure it’s built in.
