Assignment

Todays assignment we had to research different Creative Common Licenses and pick which ones we would use for:

a) My Blog
b) A website about my life story
c) A novel I wanted to write to help kids that can’t read well read better
d) A collection of photographs I took
e) A cure for HIV/AIDS that I discovered
f) My working model of Cold Fusion energy production

For each one I chose:

a) Attribution...I chose this because I don't really care about my blog...people can copy it and stuff from it if they want but not if its something very personal...I dont put personal stuff in my blog

b) Attribution-NonCommercial...I chose this one because I don't want anyone to steal my personal stuff especially from a website about my life and sell it..thats why I chose this one

c) Attribution-ShareAlike...I chose this one so I can share with other people

d) Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike...I chose this one because I let people look at my pictures I took but I won't let tem sell it for money because those are my pictures

e) Attribution-NonCommercial...I chose this one because I don't want anyone selling what I discoverd...I discoverd it..I should get money

f) Attribution-NoDervis...I chose this one because I don't really know..cause it was the last one left and I don't want people copying and selling what I made...I think that what it is for

Another Question:

Would you license these things under a Creative Commons license? Which one?

I would license at least two of the Creative Common Licenses. I would license the Attribution-NonCommercial and Attribution-ShareAlike.

Looking good, but you left off WHY you would pick that particular license for each project.

Please, go back and edit.

Much better, thank you... I can't wait to see what people have to say about you wanting to make money off a cure for AIDS, but not Cold Fusion :D

well if she doen't make some money of a cure for HIV, then some big drug company will...so let her staker her claim. But, hey, claim a piece of that cold fusion too, I think you will be a rich girl!

I don't think anybody should be able to turn a profit off of a medical advance like that. Cover costs, yes, recieve a great hoo-hah of recognition for all time, recieve grants and awards up the wazzoo, sure, but a profit? Just doesn't seem right to me. If there is a profit involved, there will be people who can't afford to buy it.

Cold fusion, though.... Once the technology is there, people can produce their own energy safely and effectively. There is no profit to be made once people know how o make it work.
