Smart people think that being smart is the most important character trait (frankly it's not in the top 5) and coders think code is the most important thing. Meanwhile artists, musicians, photographers and writers continue to be marginalized and mined by technologists and tech/media companies for big ad dollars but little cultural benefit. I always felt torn between the various open source sects, but Creative Commons always felt right, more inclusive and opt-in, and somehow more important. Perhaps that's my artistic bias. Or maybe I just saw the future while everyone was worried about open source PDF viewers and reverse-engineering the latest half-broken audio/video codec. It's the music, the photos, the papers, the art that matters. I abhor the word "content" but by all means lump in "data" if that helps move things forward. https://creativecommons.org/about/history/ https://creativecommons.org/about/history/
