paulproteusbovinity, Alex_Roberts, So I think I still need help.  Reload?  I think there's something about "inline" I should do to encourage the bullet and the text to be next to each other.  <http://192.168.103.55/nc-survey/trunk/nc-mia/nc.html>18:28
paulproteusEr, make that just "bovinity".18:28
*** epeus is now known as KevinMarks18:30
bovinityhmm18:31
bovinityahh.. float:right; the text boxes; and make them a little less wide18:32
bovinitywidth:80% should do the trick18:32
bovinityer, i mean float:left;18:32
paulproteus.option-text {18:33
paulproteus               width: 80%;18:33
paulproteus               float: left;18:33
paulproteus}18:33
paulproteusBut reload; it doesn't seem to do it.18:33
bovinityadd width:5% to your option-input18:34
paulproteusDone; now look....18:34
bovinitythat's... odd.18:34
* paulproteus temporarily set option-text to float: right briefly; reload if you got that18:35
paulproteusShould we be trying this in person where you and I hack at CSS in a live edit box rather than in IRC?18:35
bovinityi notice your option class doesn't have a width itself18:35
* paulproteus gives it width: 100% to compensate18:36
paulproteuslol, that's wrong.18:36
*** pavig has joined #cc18:36
bovinityit has to be a definite number, not a relative percentage18:36
bovinity;)18:36
* paulproteus sets it to 400px instead18:36
paulproteusNo...18:37
bovinityoh, i see18:38
paulproteusOh, 40px does something interesting.18:38
bovinitytake the label tag outside of the option-input div18:38
bovinitythat's breaking the floats and widths18:38
paulproteusHmm, that broke it in a whole new way.18:40
paulproteusOh, wait, let me do that not for just *one* option.18:40
paulproteusSweet!18:43
bovinity:)18:43
paulproteusYES!  It applies correctly to the later stuff, too.18:44

bnovchttp://creativecommons.org/technology/ -- this doesn't mention other medias that i'm unsure of what they should include...i would like to use creative commons for a group of code i plan to distribute freely for non-commercial use but i don't know how to put the license in20:06
paulproteusbnovc, Like programming code?20:07
paulproteusWhy not use a software license for software?20:07
bnovcpaulproteus: which one?20:07
paulproteusbnovc, I would say, the GPL. (-:20:07
bnovci'm not very familiar with this process and cc looked appropriate20:08
bnovcits web-only though?20:08
paulproteus"GPL v2 or any later version" in particular.20:08
paulproteusbnovc, Huh?20:08
*** pavig has quit IRC20:08
*** pavig_ has joined #cc20:08
*** pavig_ is now known as pavig20:08
paulproteusbnovc, Tell mem more about this piece of software you want to license.20:08
paulproteusYou're the author of it?20:08
paulproteusOr is it collaboratively-written?20:08
bnovcpaulproteus: co-author, yea20:08
paulproteusWhat do you mean "web-only"?20:08
bnovccreative commons appears to only be applicable for websites20:08
bnovcthis code takes a SQL file and generates a webpage for it (basically)20:08
*** pavig has quit IRC20:09
paulproteusCC licenses are applicable for any sort of media.  Sound files, video files, text files, printed books, and so on.20:09
bovinityyou can CC license the content of the site; and use an open source license for the code that runs the site.20:09
bnovcok, i just misunderstood cc's range then20:09
bnovci'll read about GPL, thanks20:09
paulproteusYou should know that *all* authors have to agree to distribute the software under whatever license you end up choosing.20:09
bnovcpaulproteus: that's fine, we were working together on deciding right now anyway20:10
paulproteusbnovc, Okay, good. (-:20:10
bnovcthanks for your help20:11
paulproteusI urge you to use the GPL or some "GPL-compatible" license.  http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/pragmatic.html has more information about one point of view on the GPL's appropriateness.20:11
paulproteusThe importance of using a "GPL-compatible" license is that, down the road some day, someone might want to incorporate your great code into another work that is Free Software.20:11
paulproteusWhen that happens, your choice of license will affect that person's abilitiy to do that.20:11
paulproteusMost Free Software is under the GPL or a GPL-compatible license, so you dramatically boost the chance of that person being able to do so, without having to ask permission or get a special license from you, if you choose the GPL or a compatible license.20:12
bnovcwell, cc sounded perfect..i want it freely editable with original license and credits, and non-commercial (paid for commercial)20:12
bnovcis it possible to dual license so it is free for non-commercial & education and pay for other?20:12
paulproteusbnovc, First of all, yes.20:16
paulproteusBut remember what I said about GPL compatibility.20:17
paulproteusIf all you want is for people to be allowed to run your code, then some "non-commercial use" license is okay.  But if you want others to be able to really make use of it in existing Free Software programs, I'd recommend the GPL.20:17
paulproteusAnd if you're looking to pick a "non-commercial" only license, then the CC licenses are probably an okay pick.20:18
bnovci probably need to practice reading legal documents :|20:19
bnovcdoes GPL require anything or just "go use it wherever"20:19
paulproteushttp://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html20:20
paulproteusThat's the first thing you should read, in my opinion, to get a grounding of the sorts of requirements the GPL has and doesn't have.20:20
bnovck20:20
bnovcthanks20:20
paulproteusTell me if you have any more questions.20:20
paulproteus(Or at least tell the channel.)20:20
bnovcshall do, thanks for your help20:21
bnovci should probably get back to REAL work for a while ;)20:21
paulproteusbnovc, Yeah, me too. (-:20:22
poningrueew dont use cc for code20:22
poningruooph20:23
paulproteusGPL needs a flash movie like http://mirrors.creativecommons.org/getcreative/ .20:23
paulproteusExcept it wouldn't be Flash, it would be something Free.20:23
poningrupaid for commercial20:23
paulproteusBut still.20:23
poningruthat is gonna be hard for gpl20:23
poningrucompatible20:23
bnovcponingru: what would you recommend20:23
paulproteusponingru, Not true.  Qt is a company that demonstrates how to do this.20:24
paulproteusThe GPL is great because other people who believe in Free Software get to use your stuff for free, and people who want to put your program into a proprietary product aren't allowed to unless they get permission.20:25
poningruright20:25
poningrutake a look at the rhel model of business20:25
paulproteusThe GPL does not, however, cover the *use* of the software, and it seems bnovc might want to restrict how users use the software.20:25
poningruor like paulproteus said qt20:25
poningrurhel is all free software20:26
paulproteusI think Qt is more appropriate, but I should work instead of having Free Software licensing fights in CC's channel. (-:20:26
poningrubnovc: iirc there are a few other license that might be better for you20:27
bnovcif you know any names i'd be glad to go read about them20:27
paulproteusOnly if you actually want to restrict your users' freedom to use your software.20:27
poningrubut remember along the line if someone wanted to incorporate your code into a gpl'd code you cant do it20:27
poningruerr they cant do it20:27
poningrubnovc: hold on20:27
bnovcwhy is that the case?20:27
paulproteushttp://www.fsf.org/licensing/essays/free-sw.html - read this brief piece, too.20:27
paulproteusbnovc, That should explain where I'm coming from.20:28
bnovcif there logo wasn't so ugly it would help :P20:28
bnovc*their20:28
poningrubnovc: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html20:28
poningrutake a look there20:28
bnovcshall do20:28
poningruthat lists tons of license that are free/non-free/free-but-incompatible with gpl20:29
bnovcthanks :)20:29
paulproteusBut read my free-sw.html link to understand what "free" means.20:29
poningruyeah exactly20:31
* poningru would not recomend putting your code into license that will restrict your users so much20:31
