Severed Fifth Licensing

Posted on July 29, 2008 - by jono

You know what? I hate licensing. Sure, it is a necessary evil, but I prefer to spend my time on doing things as opposed to licensing things.

Despite this, licensing is a key element of Severed Fifth and I went through quite a mental journey to finalise the choice of the Creative Commons Sampling Plus license. I wrote up a short essay on this which you can read here.

Also, a few other Severed Fifth tidbits:

The second sneak peek of the album is available.
Thanks to Brad Nelson who is going to be getting the Severed Fifth Facebook Group in shape.
The first official Severed Fifth t-shirt is ready and I will be opening the store soon.

Lots more is going on on…more details soon.

Sampling plus is not really Free, according to DFSG and FSF. That sucks. Bad choice.

Also deprecated by CC, mostly for proliferation reasons but partially for the FSF/DFSG reasons as well.

Luis, actually only plain sampling, not sampling+, was deprecated by CC, see http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/7520

Though I’d like to eventually deprecate sampling+ too. Will probably post a longer comment on the Severed Fifth post.
