I'm writing up a new page about "free" right now.
That's done.
Now I'd like to expand on that with some good strong advocacy of shorter copyright terms.
Unless I somehow missed some discussion, I didn't see any further commentary on this. The site at http://www.gutenberg.org has a somewhat revised look, no more "free beer," and a nice section on "No Cost of Freedom?" A minor fix I didn't see earlier to /freedom.php: " You can tell by reading the license inside the book. You may download a copyrighted book, but you are not allowed to give copies away." should be more like: " You can tell by reading the license inside the book. You may download a copyrighted book and give copies away, but might be limited in commercial uses and derivative works." Anyway, I like this, and hope others do too. Thanks!!! Also, the more prominent placing of the DONATE link *has* resulted in noticably more donations via PayPal. Most donations are smallish ($5-10), but sprinkled with $50 and $100 donations. This really helps to support our DVD/CD giveaways, book-buying, and other programs. -- Greg
