A Singular Lack of Integrity?
A Singular Lack of Integrity?
03/19/2003 10:24 PMOn the news now, a correspondent reported from the Azores where the
pro-war-in-Iraq lobby have been meeting. She said something I found
startling. Apparently at several points during the last few months it
had looked like the UK/US position would get upwards of nine/ten votes
in the Security Council. That was until France declared its intention
to use its veto. At this point the other countries saw no
advantage in voting to approve a war that couldn't happen
anyway - and which might cost them an election. Almost to a man, they
changed to a no vote.
I've expressed repeatedly my anxieties with any upcoming war with
Iraq - that while it's clear to me that Saddam Hussein is an
unpleasant man who should be removed, the route that I believe
has to be taken is one of international collaboration. I do
not believe that any country or group of countries should be
able to act internationally (unless they have directly and
individually been provoked) without at least the vaguest assent from
the international community. My opinion has been that, should there be
failings in the United Nations, then it is the job of the world to
change the United Nations, not to disregard it.
But my whole position has relied on the integrity of the people
concerned. If countries act in an honourable way, then I have respect
for their opinions. And I've argued to defend the assumption that
people are acting honourably. I have continually argued for
France's right to express its dissent from the opinion of the
international community. And I've been hostile to the possibility that
France or the United States should try and bargain with, threaten or
buy the votes of any other country on the Security Council or across
the world.
But where is this integrity, exactly? France has crossed the
line a couple of times. The United States and the UK have demonstrated
that they're not averse to a little bullying as well. And now we hear
that the votes of the rest of the Security Council depend only on what
they think will play well with their electorates. Our world is run by
monsters and hypocrites and if I could retire from it, I would.

new iPod Commercial has cropped up on the .mac page of Jeff
Garden. Anyone with any information regarding the source of this video
or an opinion to express about it may do so in the comments below.
Why free for commercial use?
Why free for commercial use?
06/27/2004 07:38 PMWhen writing my last entry, I remembered a question that some
people ask me. Why choose the Creative Commons license
that allows people to use content free for commercial use? I think
people have some sort of instinctive reaction toward the notion that
someone could "exploit" their work to make money. One question to ask
is, will you make less money because of it or more? They have to give
you attribution so more people will know about you and your work. I
would rather have people copy and quote my blog without worrying about
asking for permission. I would love to appear in commercial magazines,
books, websites and newspapers. Yes, fair use allows these people to
quote me without asking permission, but fair use must be defended in
court and some countries don't even have fair use. As a practical
matter, fair use really only gets you the right to hire a lawyer. The
CC license allows people to use stuff from my blog without fear
because they know my intention and it is clear legally as
well.
The next question is, then why not make it completely
free? A good way to understand this is to look at the differences
between the GNU Free Document License that Wikipedia uses and
the by-sa
(attribution share-alike) Creative Commons license Wikitravel uses.
There is some overlap and lots of nuances, but generally speaking the
GNU license is more about creating an ever growing body of work which
must remain free and allows commercial reprinting with limitations
basically in order to allow people to charge for reprinting the
document. The Wikipedia
copyright page says:
Wikipedia
The goal of Wikipedia is to create
an information source in an encyclopedia format that is freely
available. The license we use grants free access to our content in the
same sense as free software is licensed freely. This principle is
known as copyleft. That is to say, Wikipedia content can be copied,
modified, and redistributed so long as the new version grants the same
freedoms to others and acknowledges the authors of the Wikipedia
article used (a direct link back to the article satisfies our author
credit requirement). Wikipedia articles therefore will remain free
forever and can be used by anybody subject to certain restrictions,
most of which serve to ensure that freedom.
Wikitravel has a page on why they didn't choose the GNU Free
Document License.
Wikitravel
The GFDL was developed to support
making Free Content versions of software manuals, textbooks, and other
large references. Its requirements for what you have to distribute
with a document under the GFDL -- such a copy of the GFDL and a
changelog, as well as "transparent" (i.e. source) versions if you
distribute over 100 copies -- aren't really all that onerous for large
volumes of text.
But for Wikitravel, we really want to have each article
redistributable on its own. Wikitravel articles can be as small as 1-2
printed pages. For such small documents, it just doesn't make sense to
require people to pass out another 10 pages of legalese text, as well
as floppy disks or CDs full of Wiki markup.
Consider these small "publishers" who would distribute stacks of
photocopied printouts of Wikitravel articles:
• Local tourist offices
• Hotels or guesthouses
• Helpful travellers
• Teachers
• Exchange student programs
• Wedding or event planners
Burdening these publishers with restrictions meant for software
documentation or textbooks would mean that they'd either ignore our
license -- a bad precedent to set -- or, more likely, just not use our
work.
We make our content Free so we can collaborate on this wiki, but
also because we want it to be seen and used. We can't serve travellers
with useful information if they can't get to that information in the
first place.
A lightweight alternative
The license we've chosen, the Creative Commons
Attribution-ShareAlike 1.0, is much easier and more lightweight. We
think that using the Attribution-ShareAlike 1.0 license (by-sa) meets
our goal of having copyleft protection on Wikitravel content, without
putting an excessive burden on small publishers. All that needs to be
included are copyright notices and the URL of the license; this can be
done in a short paragraph at the end of the article.
The big downside of not using the GFDL is that GFDL content --
like Wikipedia articles -- cannot be included in Wikitravel articles.
This is a restriction of the GFDL -- you're not allowed to change the
license for the content, unless you're the original copyright holder.
This is kind of a pain for contributors, but we figured it was better
to make it easy for users and distributors to comply with our
license.
Creative Commons is planning to issue a new revision of their
suite of licenses some time in the winter of 2003-2004. Compatibility
with other Free licenses is "a top priority", and we can expect that
some time after that version change, articles created on Wikitravel
can be distributed under the GFDL. So, even though we can't include
GFDL work into Wikitravel, other Free Content authors can include
Wikitravel content into their work.
In Wikipedia's case,
the main use case is having it available online and I think for that
the GFDL works best. In the case of Wikitravel where they would like
to see their work expand into the physical world in small bits, I
think the CC by-sa works well. I think they both picked the right
licenses.
They point out one of the biggest problems with many of these
copyleft licenses. They usually require the creator of a derivative
work or the distributor to use the same license and even if the work
can be tampered with, the license can not. This makes it hard if not
impossible to mix with other licenses. The "share-alike" attribute in
the CC license the Wikitravel uses serves this function and is similar
to GPL and GFDL licenses in this regard. This is important in keeping
the "spirit" of the original intent going and in the case of Wikipedia
and Wikitravel which are group efforts, this is quite important. In my
case, I would rather allow people who use my works to have maximum
freedom so I have not included "share-alike" to my license. This
allows people to mix my content with other types of licenses.
