The lecture this week was on creative commons, the concept of individual licenses that are not as restrictive as copyright.
The idea is to support community growth and collaboration of ideas, shared creations and encouragement to use material owned by individuals willing to loosen their rights around their creation while still maintaining ownership.
Going back to the grass roots of community in terms of the internet and the interaction between users and materials. Furthermore, there was an extension into the free software movement and how it relates to the individuals with sharing of skills, ideas, creations adn acknowledgement of those that own and share material.
