AG025: Creatively Common Star Trek

from Art Slash Geek: The PodCast Hosted by Russ Olsen

Creatively Common Star Trek This week Chris and Russ talk about Creative Commons. Creative Commons is a non-profit organization which encourages people to share their creative works with out simply putting those works into the public domain. The bottom line is that Creative Commons offers a number of licenses that you can apply to your works. There are a whole family of creative commons licenses. For example, if you don't mind if someone else modifies your work, and makes a profit from it but you do want the credit for anything they do with your work, you can use this license: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 United States License. Alternatively, you might want to give your song or book or picture away, as long as there is no money involved: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0 United States License. Or you might want to restrict users of your work from changing it: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License. The Creative Commons licenses is a tool for you to control what people can do with your work. The book of the week is All I Really Need to Know I Learned from Watching Star Trek by Dave Marinaccio. If you like Star Trek but don't particularly like Star Trek books, try this one. It is a fun romp through the 'philosophy' of everyone's favorite sci fi show. Russ
