[sudo-discuss] Free Culture and Social Justice (CC Salon San Francisco) this Thurs at 6pm

[Matthew Senate]

I plan to attend, I especially want to discuss with free culture folks a
notion I have been pondering for some time now.

It is one thing to employ a license that sets clear and legally-robust
terms for the re-purposing of creative content covered under copyright. It
is another to pursue, in any given endeavor, the proliferation of
knowledge, in all its formats and expressions, and not to make that
knowledge scarce, especially as a source of benefits (e.g. income).

I am getting the feeling that there is something essential in this thought,
that articulates a notion (a side) of the moral basis of free (as in
freedom) and openness that is very practical, and critical.

I'd like to discuss this with more folks, perhaps at this event on Thursday.

Hack on.
