| nkinkade | nathany: There seems to be a problem with the welcome script on a9 ... it's emitting the error: | 16:44 |
| nkinkade | socket.error: (111, 'Connection refused') | 16:44 |
| nkinkade | Maybe has to do with the new IP address? | 16:45 |
| nathany | how do you know? i haven't seen any errors come through the cron reporter (trying to run it manually?) | 16:45 |
| nkinkade | I have configured Postfix to only listen on 1 IP address, so maybe it's trying to bind to port 25 on the wrong IP? | 16:45 |
| nkinkade | I just tried to run it manually. | 16:45 |
| nkinkade | Maybe I did it in the wrong context? | 16:45 |
| nathany | one second | 16:45 |
| nkinkade | Someone didn't get their invitation, so I went to resend it. | 16:45 |
| nathany | nkinkade: so postfix isn't listening on localhost anymore? | 16:47 |
| nkinkade | nathany: It should be, let me verify that, though. | 16:48 |
| nathany | that seems to fit the error you're seeing, your previous comment, and the configuration | 16:48 |
| nkinkade | I'll be damned ... seems to not be. | 16:48 |
| nathany | that's the problem | 16:48 |
| nkinkade | I must have fucked up the configuration somehow. | 16:49 |
| nkinkade | I'll fix it now. | 16:49 |
| nkinkade | I needed to have Postfix only bind to a single external IP so as to avoid reverse DNS problems with other servers. | 16:50 |
| nkinkade | My setting inet_interfaces must have messed it up, but I'm not sure how. | 16:50 |
| nkinkade | Anyway, thanks. | 16:50 |
| nathany | sure :) | 16:50 |
| nkinkade | nathany: It's fixed now, but I suppose that means that any invites since the time I made that change (2 days?) would not have gone out. | 16:57 |
| nkinkade | I can find a list of those people in CiviCRM and manually send them out I guess. | 16:57 |
| nathany | hrm | 16:58 |
| nathany | i would have expected to see errors in the cron job reports | 16:58 |
| nathany | that get emailed to me | 16:58 |
| nkinkade | Did you get one today or last night? | 16:58 |
| nathany | please double check but i won't be surprised if there weren't any | 16:58 |
| nathany | (looking) | 16:59 |
| nkinkade | That is possible, but there was at least one. | 16:59 |
| nathany | looks like the last one I received was 4 days ago | 16:59 |

| nkinkade | nathany: Do the cron mails you got indicate email addresses that we can use to resend missed invitations? | 17:55 |
| nathany | no | 17:55 |
| nathany | they normally do, but not when there's an error | 17:55 |
| nkinkade | Maybe the script should catch that error and handle it more gracefully, perhaps write a record to a file or something? | 17:58 |
| *** tanjir has quit IRC | 18:01 | |
| *** TRD has joined #cc | 18:02 | |
| nathany | nkinkade: yeah, I suppose it should use the logger to print the error | 18:04 |
| nathany | so at least it goes into the email message cron send | 18:04 |
| nathany | (i don't see any reason to involve a file) | 18:04 |
| nkinkade | Yeah, a file isn't ideal, but I was thinking that if mail is broken, then mails won't be of much use, but I guess the mail will still sit around in your local inbox. | 18:06 |
| nathany | nkinkade: can you create a ticket for me on code so i don't forget that? | 18:17 |

| mlinksva | maybe i can find someone dumb to trade a poor condition sampling+ card for something better | 19:29 |
| greg-g | oooo! ooo! where do I buy packs of 20 deeds? (presumably with 17 sampling+'s, 2 BY-NC-ND and one BY-NC-SA, ie: just like baseball cards, nothing good!) | 19:31 |
| nathany | greg-g: you mean 1 sampling+, 16 nc-sampling+ ;) | 19:31 |
| greg-g | haha | 19:31 |
| greg-g | although, now that sampling+ is no longer in print, is it worth more? | 19:32 |
| nathany | no | 19:32 |
| nathany | the market is flooded :) | 19:33 |
| greg-g | dang :( | 19:33 |

| bsperan | I've read the FAQ and Advanced FAQ. But I still have a few questions: | 21:37 |
| bsperan | For example, about this: | 21:37 |
| bsperan | CC. Some rights reserved. | 21:38 |
| bsperan | "Ramadan_fine_512 by [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/xpace/3193302803]bsperan[/url] is licensed under a [url=http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/us/]Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 United States License[/url]." | 21:38 |
| bsperan | If someone wants to use the image, would they have to quote that letter for letter? Or merely attribute it to a "bsperan"? | 21:38 |
| nkinkade | bsperan: Did you see the FAQ entry for giving proper attribution? | 21:39 |
| nkinkade | A copyright holder can specify how they'd like to be attributed, but they don't have to. | 21:39 |
| nkinkade | Perhaps the best place to look is at the actual license. | 21:40 |
| nkinkade | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/us/legalcode | 21:40 |
| nkinkade | Section 4(a) | 21:40 |
| *** UncleCJ2_ has quit IRC | 21:41 | |
| bsperan | Ok, that explains most of my questions. | 21:42 |
| bsperan | But is there a way to word it so as to require users to mention HOW I created the work? Such as if I want the attribution to mention "created in Blender" or "created in Adobe Photoshop" ? | 21:43 |
| bsperan | I think there should be a way. I'm clueless on how to word it. | 21:44 |
| nkinkade | bsperan: I'm not sure about that. I know you can specify a few things about how you want to be attributed, but I'm not sure it goes as far as being able to require people to mention the software you used to create the work. | 21:49 |
| nkinkade | bsperan: Whether it's legally binding or not, there is nothing stopping you from requesting that people do so, and I'd bet that most people would comply either because they want to respect your wishes or because they don't know any better. | 21:49 |
| nkinkade | Either way you probably get what you want. | 21:50 |
| bsperan | The thing is: I want a legally binding method. I'm trying to pitch the idea of using a Creative Commons license (for "donating" images to others) to the Inkscape.org community as a way to 'spread the word' about their Inkscape open source vector graphics editor. | 22:04 |
| nathany | bsperan: there's not a legally binding way to do that with a CC license | 22:05 |
| nkinkade | bsperan: I haven't read it closely in a while ... did you see anything 4(a) that might be relevant? | 22:06 |
| nathany | the license says you can specify the URL for attribution, but also says the URL should be relevant to the copyright of the work | 22:06 |
| bsperan | Currently, they recommend users donate images to openclipart.org as a way of helping others and "spreading the word". But openclipart.org puts images under public domain, which is essentially giving up your rights. | 22:06 |
| *** mlinksva has quit IRC | 22:07 | |
| nathany | bsperan: if you want to raise awareness of (for example) Inkscape seems like a good approach would be to use a CC license (which has good brand recognition) and encourage creators to place "ads" for Inkscape on their attribution pages | 22:07 |
| nathany | so when people click through to find out more about the work they see prominent details about how Inkscape was used | 22:07 |
| bsperan | But CC licenses also state that intellection property right owners have the right to be attributed in the manner they specify. Wouldn't "Ramadan_fine_512 by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/xpace/3193302803">bsperan</a> in Inkscape" be a specification of a type of attribution? | 22:09 |
| bsperan | The "in the manner they specify" part confuses me. | 22:10 |
| nathany | my understanding (IANAL) is that the "manner" refers to the name or psuedonym they wish to use and the URL they wish people to point to | 22:10 |
| nkinkade | bsperan: I was alluding to that in 4(a), but it's not clear to me either exactly what that might entail. | 22:10 |
| nathany | might be worth asking on cc-community | 22:11 |
| nkinkade | bsperan: nathany's idea seems good, and like I say, in any case, there's nothing stopping you from asking that people attribute you in that way, and I suspect that most everyone would. | 22:11 |
| nathany | right | 22:12 |
| nkinkade | You're probably not going to sue the person who doesn't anyway, so whether that part is legally binding or not may not ultimately matter in a realistic sense. | 22:12 |
| *** TRD is now known as TRD|Zzz | 22:22 | |
| bsperan | What about an Open Source, GNU GPL-licensed game project that wants to include Creative Commons content - specifically, textures/images? (In most cases the images would be used to added texture in-game to 3D models.) Would the game need to be licensed under CC as well? | 22:23 |
| bsperan | CreativeCommons.org recommends againt licensing software under a Creative Commons license - with the exception of CC-GNU GPL. The CC-GNU GPL license is a combination of CC and GNU GPL. However, as understand it, with CC-GNU GPL the CC only applies to cover an implimentation of a CC-like online human-readable and lawyer-readable legal code system for the GNU-licensed software. This is merely intended to make a GNU GPL software's legal | 22:25 |
| bsperan | legible for laymen and lawyers alike, correct? | 22:25 |
| nkinkade | bsperan: That is correct. | 22:29 |
| nkinkade | It doesn't change the GPL, just provides a human-readable wrapper. | 22:29 |
| bsperan | In relation to my earlier question: The advanced FAQ states: | 22:31 |
| bsperan | "(2) credit the author, licensor and/or other parties (such as a wiki or journal) in the manner they specify;" | 22:31 |
| nkinkade | bsperan: I think you'll get more mileage out of this on the cc-community list, as nathany mentioned. | 22:33 |
| bsperan | It sounds to me like, POSSIBLY, a software suite such as Blender or a website such as Inkscape.org could be considered "other parties" | 22:33 |
| nkinkade | On cc-community you may get responses from people all over the world ... some of them possibly lawyers. | 22:33 |
| bsperan | Are you referring to http://forum.creativecommons.org ? | 22:34 |
| nkinkade | http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-community | 22:34 |
| bsperan | I may have to try that. I haven't had any responses to stuff I post on the forum... | 22:34 |
| nkinkade | bsperan: You'll have better luck on the cc-community list for sure. | 22:36 |
| bsperan | One last question: I'm a bit confused about the Share Alike licenses and their definition of "derivative works". I know of at least one open source software that uses by-nc-sa licensed images. Wouldn't that use require the software to be licensed under Share Alike? Or is software considered too different to fall under "derivative work"? | 22:40 |
| nkinkade | bsperan: Depends on whether it's considered a adaptation or collection. Again, take a look at the license I linked to above. | 22:41 |
| nkinkade | Sections 1(a) and 1(b) | 22:41 |
| nkinkade | A derivative/adaptation triggers the SA clause, not a colleciton. | 22:41 |
| nkinkade | *collection | 22:42 |
| bsperan | So if we're talking about an open source game that's using the images for mesh textures, then that is considered a "Collective Work"? | 22:45 |
| bsperan | That's how I would interpret the clause... | 22:46 |
| nkinkade | bsperan: Only a court could answer that definitively. | 22:46 |
| nkinkade | I'm not trying to be evasive ... those are just tough legal questions that lawyers could go back and forth on for years. | 22:47 |
| bsperan | Perhaps in version 4.0 of the licenses the legal code could spell out definitively which works are considered Collective Works? It couldn't specify every possible use or condition, of course. But I think the most common uses could be mentioned. | 22:50 |
| bsperan | At least this version clarifies that music videos ARE considered derivative works. | 22:52 |
| bsperan | Thanks for the feedback guys. :) | 22:55 |
| nkinkade | bsperan: As you say, there is a potentially limitless list of edge cases. It would be impossible and not practical to try to list them or even a reasonable subset of them, I think. | 22:55 |
| bsperan | But then, since when has legal code and disclaimers been written to be practical to end users? ;) | 22:58 |
| bsperan | In terms of making it more understandable to lay persons, Creative Commons is definately a step in the right direction. But I think there is still room for improvement. | 22:59 |
| nkinkade | That's probably true. Everything's a work in progress. :-) | 23:00 |
| bsperan | And, unfortunately, the CC approach to legal speak has not caught on for other applications and other legal disclaimers. | 23:00 |
| nkinkade | nathany: Do you know if we have any special custom namespaces on the CC wiki? | 23:23 |
| nkinkade | It seems that in order to do this Talk page thing we may have to reverse our security model from default no write, to default write, then selectively block. | 23:24 |
| nathany | we use namespaces for the translations although i can't remember if they're "real" namespaces (ie, declared in the config file) | 23:24 |
| nathany | noi | 23:24 |
| nkinkade | Or at least with the methods I am seeing. | 23:24 |
| nathany | that sounds... annoying | 23:24 |
| nathany | and not worth it | 23:25 |
| nathany | (i can be convinced, just seems like a pain) | 23:25 |
| nkinkade | I found a semi reasonable way, I think, but I have no way of knowing if it's covering everything. | 23:25 |
| nkinkade | http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access#Restrict_editing_of_all_but_a_few_pages | 23:25 |
| nkinkade | On that page, they give a specific example of enabling anonymous Talk edits, while restricting other edits to emailconfirmed. | 23:26 |
| nathany | so using http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EditSubpages? | 23:26 |
| nkinkade | No, here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access#1.10_upwards | 23:26 |
| nkinkade | But my question was whether those namespaces in the list covered everything we have. | 23:27 |
| nathany | well anything else will be listed in LocalSettings.php as a declared namespace | 23:27 |
| nathany | well, that's not true | 23:27 |
| nathany | one second | 23:27 |
| nathany | so there are several namespaces added by SMW | 23:28 |
| nkinkade | My general thought is that this is a slight complication that will be useful to very few people. | 23:28 |
| nathany | (and SF) | 23:28 |
| nathany | i was thinking there was a special page that would like all registered namespaces but i can't find it | 23:29 |
| nkinkade | I couldn't find such a thing either. | 23:29 |
| nkinkade | I found a list of the standard MW ones, but nothing more. | 23:29 |
| nathany | right | 23:30 |
| nathany | and SMW, SF, etc all add namespaces | 23:30 |
| nkinkade | Hmmm. | 23:30 |
| nkinkade | I think what I may do is reply to Michelle and those people and ask about this. | 23:31 |
| nkinkade | A security model that defaults to open and leaves you running around trying to plug holes seems less than ideal. | 23:31 |
| nathany | see http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Special:Prefixindex for a list | 23:31 |
| nkinkade | Well, not a "security" model, but a spam-prevention model. | 23:31 |
| nathany | yeah, this already feels like way more effort than it's worth | 23:31 |
| nkinkade | Totally. | 23:32 |
| nathany | "just say no" | 23:32 |
| nathany | (or i will) | 23:32 |
| nathany | (if you prefer) | 23:32 |
| nkinkade | I'm going to stop where I'm at and reply to them and spell out what we need. | 23:32 |
| nathany | feel free to spell it out or just say "we're not going to make the change at this time" | 23:32 |
| nkinkade | If they can come up with a simple solution, fine, otherwise, it's more trouble than it's worth and one more thing to think about during upgrades etc. | 23:32 |
| nathany | right | 23:32 |
| nathany | i can see us totally shooting ourselves in the foot with this approach | 23:33 |
| nkinkade | I'll copy you on my reply. Thanks for even spending the last 10 minutes looking at this. :-) | 23:33 |
| nathany | sure :) | 23:33 |
