First week of #30DayFOSSChallenge is coming to an end. My blogpost will be a few days late because I'll be camping for the #eclipse but I'm excited by what's already happening.
Interested in #FOSS but haven't taken the time to explore it? Or familiar but wanting to dive deeper? Have no idea what that is, but are interested in decreasing your reliance on evil corporations?
If any of the above, check out the #30DayFOSSChallenge. In April I will be posting all about it, and encouraging others to join me. Hope you come along for the journey.
Still public domain, still a free wizard! If you want a version with trannsparent-bg just use the one I posted yesterday, it actually is pretty when not upscaled by Mastodon :3.
Wonder where he and the flower will up over the time ^_^.
Just updated the graphic with better visible question marks; here is the old version and a upscaled with transparent background for good measure.
Here's a #freeculture question: if I have licensed some of my own writing under a Creative Commons license with a non-commercial aspect, am I still allowed to sell the writing?
@nantucketebooks As long as there are no other contributors, you can do whatever you want with your own work. You can release it under multiple licenses, public or personal, modify, distribute, sell, rent, etc.
The moment you accept any contributions from other people, they become co-authors and get a say about what can happen with the new work that includes their changes, though they can't undo the license on which it was already published.
I just requested a book from the San Francisco Public library to be delivered to the San Diego Public Library branch close to me, all for free, and I think this is amazing.
Great news. Last year's release of the IRR related to #Copyright stated that a registry will be created for Filipino works, and works produced in the Philippines, in the #PublicDomain.
In addition to the above, the IRR also finalised that any Philippine government works, unless otherwise specified, are now automatically in the Public Domain.
My version of the character Ada from "Ada & Zangemann", a Creative Commons license (BY-SA) book for children and a funny story about Free/Libre and Open-Source. It's written by Matthias Kirschner and illustrated by Sandra Brandstätter. It is great to see new characters in the Free Culture, especially because Ada is so cool. 💜
You can find it printed in English, French, German, Italian → https://fsfe.org/activities/ada-zangemann/
"Flavour" was always just a fragment of hacker slang which might just as well be applied to different editions of Microsoft Windows, different trim levels of Honda Civic, or whatever. It was more common in reference to linux distros when it was mostly only hackers who ran linux. There's an entry for "flavor" in the jargon file.
