Fragmented freedom.

I was reading over some news that is pouring out of Wizards of OS 4 and stumbled upon a debate about creative commons and truly free licensing. I think the debate has some warrant but just by glossing over it I think I’ve found my position on it. I think creative commons has the right idea. The original creator should have full control over what license his works falls under, and subsequentally what derivative works will fall under.

This seems to be more geared toward each individual community deciding what is right for their project. This would also in effect fragment the communities into smaller like minded groups. However I think it is important to not force communities into a certain set of rules. This could damage the growth of the “free” movement.

On the other hand if everyone could agree on the four free truths

  • The freedom to run the program, for any purpose;
  • The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs;
  • The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor;
  • The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits;

perhaps more content could be created and circulated. The basic principle behind this side of the movement is clear definition. Instead of having to check which CC license something has, you would know exactly what can be done with the product. This side is spearheaded by folks like Benjamin Mako Hill you can check more on his side of the issue at standards of freedom.
