I’m a pretty strong advocate of Creative Commons, in dreams after I fight Communists with Superman Lawrence Lessig, Cory Doctorow and I fight patent trolls and shorten the copyright sunset period. Anyway, I purchased two books licensed under Creative Commons from Amazon, because I wanted the pretty binding and not having to read from a screen. I haven’t gotten the books, and I don’t think I will. But it’s Creative Commons. At any time, I could print out the entire thing at work and just read it, but that’s not the point, dammit. I want my book to read, at work, while I’m on the can, avoiding work, I don’t want to print it there too, even I’m not that much a mooch.

The Economist, has done a wonderful article on Lawrence Lessig, (his personal website) someone I see as being on the Supreme Court should a Democrat president experience an opening between 2020 and 2036. In doing some follow-up about licensing options I discovered what may be the best licensing scheme evar, beerware. Should I start drinking or should my brother ever create something, I think that license may be used. I also believe some freeware distributors would be much better compensated by releasing their goods under this scheme
