[FOSsil-bank] [FC-discuss] FOSsil Bank Update (12 May 2013)

Sun May 12 01:55:13 UTC 2013

Hi Victor,

I'm afraid I don't have a page explaining #FundFreeCulture, but basically
it's a Twitter hashtag for any free/libre/open projects that have a
commercial element. For example, if you can buy a book that is under
Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike, it would qualify - as would a
computer program under the GNU General Public License or the donation page
of an artist whose creations come under the Free Art License.

Does that answer your question?
Cheers,
Chris
