paulproteusrejon, yes10:03
rejonheya, what is the best way to get specific info about our licenses, translations, etc10:04
rejonbiz' keep needing full lists of info about cc licenses10:05
paulproteusFor Adobe?10:05
rejonsince we have the rdf......10:05
rejoni'm out of touch on best way to access without doing manually10:05

paulproteusrejon, I've been congratulating ljp on #qtopia for a while now (-:10:06
paulproteusrejon, "DON'T FEED THE TROLL! Wait... I think I'm missing something here..."10:06
rejonyah, pretty cool10:07
rejongood move by nokia10:07
paulproteusrejon, licenses.xml is good but abstract.10:08
paulproteusI guess a tool to generate a list in ini format would be useful.10:08
paulproteusBasically, rejon - let me talk to you tomorrow about it after chatting with nathany; feel free to reply to people asking for the data saying they can have it by the end of Tuesday or Wednesday daytime at the latest.10:09

rejoni would say liblicense's license cli script, but prolly something really easy that can do simple operations and some prefab transforms would be quite useful10:11
rejoncli10:11
paulproteusAdobe doesn't want jurisdictions, right?10:11
paulproteusJust generic licenses?10:11
paulproteus+ translated text about the choices10:11

kourgeHi all12:08
kourgeIs CC by 3.0 considered compatible with GPLv2?12:09
paulproteusGPLv2 software can't be relicensed as CC by 3.0.12:10
paulproteusI think that CC by 3.0 content can't be relicensed as GPLv2, but that's a trickier question to consider....12:11
dmitrig01what about a dual license?12:11
kourgeI'm thinking of the latter12:11
kourgeWhere an existing software is licensed under CC by 3.012:11
dmitrig01paulproteus: what about a dual license?12:11
kourgeCan it be dual-licensed under GPLv2 if it's already licensed under CC by 3.0?12:12
kourge(I know that it's sort of a bad idea to put CC on software, since CC's meant for content)12:12
kourge(But that's what the author did)12:12
paulproteusIf you are the (C) holder, and you want people to be able to pick either CC by 3.0 or GPLv2, then you should dual license.12:12
dmitrig01ok thanks12:13
paulproteuskourge, In general I find that emailing the (C) holder of the software may get him to be able to relicense.12:13
*** Paul_Miller has quit IRC12:13
dmitrig01paulproteus: thanks12:13
kourgepaulproteus: Ah, so the author shouldn't have any worries about CC by 3.0 and GPLv2 being incompatible, right?12:13
paulproteusI think that if you take this other guy's work under CC by 3.0 and relicense it under GPLv2 you're breaking his terms.12:15
*** sama has joined #cc12:15
kourgepaulproteus: But if the guy decides to *dual-license* GPLv2 to his software, with his software already being CC by 3.0, should he have any worries about license incompatibility?12:16
paulproteuskourge, Then anyone can use either GPLv2 or CC by 3.0.12:16
paulproteusSo right - no worries so long as the downstream users use ether GPLv2, CC by 3.0, or the same "dual license".12:16
paulproteusDownstream authors can't e.g. relicense under the BSD license, obviously.12:16
kourgepaulproteus: So it's because he's the (C) holder, he can do so?12:17
paulproteusThe fact that GPLv2 and CC by 3.0 is no hindrance to dual licensing.12:17
paulproteuskourge, Right.12:17
paulproteusThe fact that GPLv2 and CC by 3.0 are "incompatible" is no hindrance to dual licensing.12:17
kourgepaulproteus: Ah.12:17
bovinitythe real question is why is anyone licensing *software* with cc12:17
paulproteusBecause dual licensing means giving the downstream user an option.12:17
kourgepaulproteus: That's good to know.12:17
paulproteusbovinity, nathany recently asked some dude to relicense some CC-by Python code.12:18
kourgepaulproteus: Because I wasn't really sure if license compatibility can act as an impediment to dual (or tri) licensing.12:18
kourgebovinity: Oh yes there is.12:18
* bovinity wonders if that code was more documentation than code :D12:18
kourgebovinity: Look at http://keith-wood.name/svg.html12:18
*** rejo1 has joined #cc12:19
paulproteusbovinity, Perhaps they just like us more than they like the Open Source Initiative or the FSF...12:19
kourgepaulproteus: LOL @ that.12:19
kourgebovinity: And S5 1.0 was under CC too.12:19
paulproteusBTW, http://nomorelol.com/12:19
kourgebovinity: See http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/faq.html12:20
paulproteus"""The National Acronym Monitoring Board of Linguistic Anomalies or NAMBLA has begun to crack down on "False Lolling" which is a class G felony punishable by permanent IP banning and in rare cases death by pwnage."""12:20
bovinitywell i don't doubt people /are/ licensing software with cc12:20
bovinitybut it's not something we encourage or advocate12:20
kourgebovinity: Sigh. But people still do it :P12:20
*** rejon has quit IRC12:20
kourgepaulproteus: I was actually laughing out loud, so I reckon that wouldn't be considered False Lolling ;)12:21
