Keybladehey, i got an odd question :)17:10
KeybladeHave any religious / missionary materials ever had creative commons liscenses?17:11
*** Keyblade has quit IRC17:12
*** Keyblade has joined #cc17:13
Keybladethats weird ... i got disconnected but i'm back now - did anybody just say anything ?17:14
Keybladehrm ... guess nobodys here. :(17:15
bkhlI haven't seen any.17:15
bkhlBut then I haven't been looking.17:15
bkhlThere's certainly nothing stopping you from putting out religious under a CC license.17:16
Keybladeyeah, i'm trying to convince the guy who is to do that17:16
bkhlhttp://www.csmonitor.com/2003/1216/p11s01-legn.html17:17
bkhlKind of related, maybe.17:17
KeybladeHe owns the copyright on a (mostly completed) missionary program17:17
bkhlIf you don't have a commercial interest, it makes sense.17:17
KeybladeI dont think he does, and he wants people to be able to make copies of the thing17:17
bkhlSeems perfect then.17:18
KeybladeBut doesn't want anyone tampering with it (putting in different doctrines or teaching methods)17:18
bkhlIf he's worried about people making derivative works going against his convictions,17:18
bkhl...right...17:18
bkhlhe can use one of the NoDerivs licenses.17:18
Keybladei'm not sure whether he wants noncommercial or not17:18
bkhlBoth those are available as separate options.17:19
Keybladeyeah ... but i'm not quite clear on something about the "noncommercial" option17:19
bkhlTogether it would be the BY-NC-ND license, if I'm not mistaken.17:19
bkhlI'm not sure I can answer, IANAL, and so forth.17:19
bkhlBut shoot.17:19
KeybladeIf something's "noncommercial", I assume that means you can't sell it17:19
bkhlWell, you can't sell it with a profit, at least.17:20
Keybladebut can non-profit organizations make copies of it for "suggested donations" ?17:20
Keybladeor even private individuals ?17:20
bkhlThat should be fine.17:20
bkhlEspecially if the donations are mainly meant to cover the costs of distribution.17:20
Keybladethats fine WITH the non-commercial thing ?17:20
Keybladeor without ?17:20
bkhlThat's a common issue.17:20
bkhlBut the consensus seems to be that it's fine for a non-profit to distribute NC content and still ask for donations.17:21
Keybladeok i'll pass that along :)17:21
bkhlIf the donations were mandatory, and exceeded the cost of distribution for the non-profit, it would be another thing.17:21
bkhlAgain, IANAL.17:21
KeybladeIANAL ? lemme look that up, 1sec17:21
bkhlI Am Not A Lawyer.17:22
Keybladeah i am not a lawyer. i get it.17:22
Keybladeok cool17:22
Keybladehey, i got another weird, totally unrelated question17:23
bkhlhttp://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-licenses17:23
bkhlmight be a good place to get more input.17:23
Keybladeok17:23
Keybladei think i might have been subscribed to that at one time17:23
Keybladei had a weird one then :)  - i learend about multi-liscensing17:24
bkhlIt's also available as http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.org.creativecommons.licenses17:24
bkhlGo ahead.17:24
Keybladeits kinda cool - you can put more than one CC liscense on your copyrighted work to get very specific about what situations you want to require certain conditions in17:25
bkhlMostly I guess people like to use one that doesn't allow derivative works but allows commercial use, and vice versa.17:25
Keybladeexample: you can say "Non-Commercial Derivitive Works are OK with Share Alike" in one liscense, and then say "Commercial Use of the Original is OK" in the other17:26
bkhlRight.17:26
bkhlThe latter would have no-derivatives "on".17:27
Keybladeyeah this stuff is pretty cool17:27
bkhlSo you would use both BY-NC-SA and BY-ND, if I get it right.17:27
Keybladeits kinda weird how turntables seems to be such a common concept / theme in the creative commons explanation materials17:28
Keybladeer, yeah thats what i was talking about bkhl. I asked stuff about that on the mailing list a while back17:28
Keybladedo you know anything about vynil emulation ?17:28
bkhlVinyl?17:28
bkhlNo.17:28
Keybladeyeah well i'm sure all these music people must know something about it17:29
bkhlI guess mostly the software people hang out in here.17:29
Keybladeyeah well this is a weird cross between music and software question sort of17:30
bkhlMaybe I'm your man, then. ;-)17:31
bkhlI'm a programmer and a amateur musician.17:31
Keybladehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_Emulation_Software17:31
bkhlAh, right.17:31
KeybladeThe Free Software movement needs to get one of those17:32
bkhlI saw a device like that in a catalogue.17:32
Keybladeyeah well I've seen the devices in a music store for real, they're cool but that's not the piont17:32
Keybladeponit17:32
KeybladeYou can get your PC to act like a turntable without any extra hardware17:32
bkhlActually from signal processing point of view it seems pretty simple.17:32
Keybladeyeah17:32
bkhlWhat you need is basically something that converts beeps or whatever on a record to a MIDI clock signal or something.17:33
KeybladeAnyway, you can get computer programs to do it but they all either suck or cost more than $10017:33
bkhlAnd then a plugin for some sequencer or multitracking program to use that for playback in a sensible manner.17:33
Keyblademy trouble is that alot of them are too realistic :)17:34
Keybladei want one that, as soon as you let go, it just starts playing like normal - the ones I've tried take a second or two to get up to normal speed, like a real turntable would17:35
bkhlI'd write the linux-audio list and see how much interest there is.17:35
bkhlThe realtime Csound people might be interested too.17:35
Keybladeyeah maybe there already is something for linux, hey i dunno, i'm still a windows n00b17:35
bkhlCsound is often used for experimental input devices.17:35
bkhlCombining this with a music programming language like Csound or SuperCollider seems like it could be really cool.17:36
bkhlCome to think of it there's also #csound and #supercollider channels here on freenode.17:37
Keyblademaybe i should go ask there ... but i might wanna go read about what csound and supercollider are first :)17:38
Keybladeand i dont have linux so a linux version wouldn't help me :)17:38
KeybladeThere's several programs out there17:38
bkhlCsound is available for pretty much all platforms.17:38
KeybladeFL Studio has this "Fruity Scratcher" plugin that is kinda cool17:38
bkhlSuperCollider was a Mac program first, and has been ported to Linux.17:38
Keybladeoh, csound is a music program? lemme get it then. :)17:38
bkhlMore like a programming language for music composition.17:39
bkhlIt's also one of the oldest pieces of music software still in development.17:40
bkhlOr, more likely, _the_ oldest.17:40
Keybladeo i c17:40
Keybladewell ... thats cool i guess17:40

Keybladei had no idea that Fort Minor was involved with creative commons O_O17:46
