isforinsectsExcellent.  Moe_ made me a mod of the CC flickr group.11:07
isforinsectsI will attempt to work up a script to double check CC status versus said photo being in the group.  And as Asheesh asked, I will hand check each comment post just to make sure.11:08
*** nkinkade has joined #cc12:00
isforinsectsMoe_ also offered adminship and moderator status to anyone at the office who would like it.  FYI12:12

_kehi13:00
_kei just wanted to know, if there are some big picture databases, where i can use the pictures for a commercial web project13:00
*** Paul_Miller has quit IRC13:04
nkinkade_ke: one big picture database of sorts is http://flickr.com.  there are millions of CC licensed images at Flickr, though not all of them will be suitable for commercial purposes.13:14
_kenkinkade, yeah, that seems like something i was looking for. but now i dont understand "commercial": we have a commercial web platform, but is it commercial, if we just put a CC-by-nc picture on our homepage in an article?13:16
nkinkade_ke: that isn't very easy to answer, unfortunately.  some people have actually criticized the NC definition for being to vague.13:19
nkinkade_ke: In fact, just this morning I was reading a related article: http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9849881-7.html13:20
isforinsectsI just saw a pretty nice pdf flowchard going over the possible uses of -nc13:21
nkinkadeisforinsects: I'd love to see that PDF.13:21
_keisforinsects, yeah? id love to see it too13:21
nkinkadeisforinsects: By the way, I haven't forgot about the "127.0.0.1" thing with the Wiki registrations.  I've just got a load of things on my plate right now and I've got the email as a reminder, but it may be a number of days before I can really look at it.13:22
isforinsectsnkinkade: Oh I figured you had it undercontrol or it was a non-issue.13:23
isforinsectsLooking for the pdf now13:23
nkinkadeisforinsects: the issue isn't a critical one, but I hate to see anything that isn't working properly, no matter how small, so I do plan to make some efforts to correct it at some point here.13:23
isforinsectshttp://wiki.creativecommons.org/NonCommercial_Guidelines13:26
isforinsectshttp://www.adamfields.com/CC-NC-allowed-uses-flowchart.pdf13:26
nkinkadeisforinsects: thanks.  looks like he's got a small error in the chart.  both options coming out of "Is there a click-through license ..." say Yes.13:34
*** Paul_Miller has joined #cc13:35
*** netk has joined #cc13:37
nkinkadeAccording to the way I'm reading that flowchart it would appear that he is saying that, under many circumstances, displaying an NC work on a site with something like Google Adsense is permissible, for example in a blog.13:38
netkHello. I have a doubt about possible licence conflict.13:41
nkinkadeI suppose at the end of the day it comes down to what an attorney could convincingly argue in a court.13:41
netkI am developing a web site where all the content will be contributed by users.13:42
netkThe content might come from the user's own knowledge, Wikipedia (GPL), snippets of copyright sources, or a combination of them.13:42
netkYet, I want to CC the contributed derived content content as a by-nc-sa/3.0.13:42
netkHello?13:48
nkinkadenetk: I'm not sure about the answer to that question.  Something tells me that the definition between a derivative work and collection might come into play.  And just as a stab in the dark, assuming that some of the information is under normal copyright, it strikes me as something like taking 1 copyrighted song from 20 albums and then trying to publish the resulting compilation under a new license.13:48
netkI see. Thanks nkinkade. --- If I limit myself to own content + GPL, do you think it might conflict with CC?13:49
nkinkadenetk: However, I'm still relatively new at CC, and I'm probably missing some larger/other issue.  Hopefully someone else here had a better understanding of the licenses and nuances and can give you a better answer, as mine isn't as much as answer as a total guess.13:49
netkBut you did make a good point about the album... thanks for your insight!13:50
nkinkadenetk: when you say GPL, are you referring to GFDL?13:50
netkI refer to the licence in which Wikipedia is allowed to be used. Which I believe is GPL. So if I use part of its content, to derive my own, can I license it as CC?13:51
nkinkadeGPL is generally for software.   Wikipedia uses the GFDL : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Free_Documentation_License13:53
netkAh! then yes. I meant GFDL13:53
nkinkadeSee the section under "Timeline"13:54
netkAwesome! Thankyou Nkin13:54
nkinkadeThe part that talks about extensive talks between Wikiimedia and FSF and CC.13:55
nkinkadeI think that the GFDL and the CC BY-SA are not currently totally compatible.13:56
nkinkadeBut hopefully they will be at some point in the not too distant future.13:56
netkYeah, they acually address the issue. I was about to contact CC to ask them directly.13:57

tvolhey netk i'd hit up the cc-licenses or cc-community lists...14:12

netkI found something: http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/788814:12
tvolahh yes.14:13
nkinkadetvol: thanks for chiming in.14:14
tvolnkinkade no problem14:14
netkSo I guess this means in the near future --if not now already-- we will be able to mix wikipedia content with CC....14:15
tvolnetk yes this is the push.14:15

isforinsectsnkinkade: Re pdf: Any idea who that person is?14:51
*** grahl has quit IRC15:32
nkinkadeisforinsects: no, i have no idea, but based on your question I'm assuming that it's someone i should be familiar with.  i still don't really know, even after browsing his resume.16:18
isforinsectsnkinkade: No, I don't either.16:19
isforinsectsJust wondering how trusted the info is.16:20
nkinkadeisforinsects: i was feeling selfconscious for a moment there.    I was thinking that perhaps your questions was more rhetorical. :)16:23
nkinkadeBut in any case, maybe I should notify him that one of the steps in his flowchart has "Yes" for both possibilities.  maybe it's some sort of weird existential commentary encoded into his chart.16:26
nkinkadebovinity, paulproteus: off-hand,  do either of you know how magpierss implements caching?  in general terms.16:35
bovinitydunno how it does it, if it does it at all16:36
bovinityi know it doesn't store anything in DB16:36
nkinkadei thought i remember paulproteus telling me that it cache.  i had updated the Planet, but the new posts weren't showing up on the CC.org main page, but it is now.  it lagged a couple minutes.16:37

paulproteusnkinkade, Hi.18:46
paulproteusMagpie RSS uses cache files somewhere.18:46
paulproteusI think.18:46
nkinkadepaulproteus: hi18:46
paulproteusnkinkade, re: PDF flowchart: That's the "Non commercial use guidelines".18:46
nkinkadepaulproteus: i recall you having said that at one point.  turns out that it updated it's cache after a few minutes.18:46
paulproteusI see you all found it.18:47
paulproteusThe flowchart PDF is wrong in a couple of ways iirc.18:47
* paulproteus nods, cool.18:47
nkinkadepaulproteus: re:pdf, right.  I didn't study the chart too much, other than to notice that one step had "Yes" as both possibilities.18:47
paulproteusI made this DHTML thing summer 2006 that was moderately useful, but I don't know if it ever was done enough to be unleashed on the general public.18:48
nkinkadeWhat did it do?18:48
paulproteusWow, 'net connectivity is really good here...18:48
paulproteusEven though I'm tunneling through MIT....18:49
paulproteus(Dulles airport)18:49
paulproteusIt just turned the thing Mia wrote into an interactive thing like the ToT tool.18:49

paulproteusI'm sure that will be revisited by the recently-promised work on NC.18:50
