Re: Open Work license


Were you thinking that attorneys draft long, complicated contracts because we like them long and complicated?

Surely not.

> I assure you that in an attorney's view,
legal effectivness trumps every other objective, and that as a secondary objective, shorter is better than longer and understandable is better than obtuse. You have reversed the objectives. You are going to end up with is a license that is two sentences long, is indeed generic, and does not protect your rights in the work.

The fact is that I'm not in the "main stream" view of the current market.
Open Source is fascinating me.
I just want to be protected as much as possible from to be sued
in court.

I believe that in the future you will not pay for a work, but only for the time that the author has worked on it.
You will not pay the idea, but the time that it takes to have an idea.

Because ideas are based on the knowledge of the entire humanity.
If somebody at the beginning of the humanity had not had the idea to walk on his foot, then no other new idea would have had importance.

How exactly the system will work, I don't know.
When will it happen? 10, 100, 1000 years ? I don't know.

This is only my "utopian" opinion.

But as Coluche (a french humorist) said :
"Opinion is like an ***: everyone's got one!"
("Les avis c’est comme les trou-du-cul: tout le monde en a un!")


Good luck in all your endeavors.

Thanks.
