Copyleft licenses are needed for the evolution of a knowledge-society

Published on Thu 07 of Apr, 2005

That's of course pretty clear, but never the less: think of it! Think of it concretely from this point of view!

Copyleft is a completely legal method of almost-circumventing the restrictions legislation makes on brainwork.

Our forefathers made the best decisions they could! And I won't never ever blame them for doing those decisions! Hell, they gave us the opportunity to create a totally legal Copyleft based on Copyright!

So where are we headin'?

Based on the developing conciousness of the masses and a truely networked world we could be heading to a really desirable future in which rules what I shall call the Kant'sche Copyright:

Thou shalt only do those kind of things to information, of those thou desire to become a general maxim for the usage of information!

So foul and fair a day I have not seen!
