It's a tangent but I'm all for calling out hipocracy. Author should've used Creative Commons or public domain.

- icebraining 10y agoIt's not hypocrisy. Defending an overall elimination of IP is not the same as supporting individual self-abnegation. Self-sacrifice that doesn't lead to the desired goal is just masochism.
- nickpsecurity 10y agoThat wouldn't apply here since the goal was to spread an idea but that copyright made spreading it illegal without a license. Modifying to Creative Commons aids the goal plus is cconsistent with stated principles. So, it's the best move. Fortunately, the author agrees and intends to change the license.
- TaylorAlexander 10y agoI just mentioned above (after your comment) that it's just an oversight. That text was built in to the Ghost template I used and I never bothered to change it. But I absolutely will change it to Creative Commons next time I make updates to the site.
- nickpsecurity 10y agoGreat! Glad it was just an oversight. Creative Commons also has helpful descriptions on their website to simplify picking your preferred license. Will make it easier.
