Free Culture, Free Society
This week in the lecture we once again had our Guest Speaker Adam Muir.
We learnt about Creative Communities.
Basically there are three key words in this.
Community-> Collaboration -> Choice
I learnt the different between copyright and creative commons.
We have all seen these symbols before but I finally learnt what the CC stands for. CC= creative commons
(Images thanks to google images)
Copyright is basically "intellectual property". It is "all rights reserved" while creative commons is "some rights reserved".
The additional part we learnt was about the Source Code.
The source code is like a recipe. It is all those weird letters, symbols and numbers that come up. It is pretty techy. Way over my head...
It is compiled information that aren't given out to people, because OTHERWISE the techy people who actually understand how to do that sort of stuff, will be able to change the program or give the program or sell it, etc.
There are numerous programs these days that are 'free or open' software.
They are like free versions of programs.
Community- Work together to find solutions
Collaborations- Doing this within the law.
Choice- It is your choice, the alternatives. There are books that are legally available free as well.
