As the saga of getting this website up and running continues, I’ve added another element to the design. I’ve decided to release my work under the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States License. I did a good amount of research about this “some rights reserved” approach and feel that it’s appropriate for my work. I hope others can share and benefit from the work I’ve done. The only works that this does not apply to are those for which I’m not the copyright holder, eg. the logos and other commercial work I’ve done.
I’ve used CC licensed audio tracks for videos I’ve done and I’m excited to see if people find ways to use my work. I’m a fan of Jonathan Coulton and Becky Stern, and both of them use CC licenses for their work. Larry Lessig is such a compelling speaker and advocate for Creative Commons and videos of his talks played a role in the decision. (by default the WordPress theme I’m using (deFusion) adds a “Copyright ©” line to the footer). My CC attribution label is in the footer of this site, so share, remix and otherwise enjoy my work!
