[okfn-discuss] [FC-discuss] A Free, Libre and Open Glossary

[Chris Sakkas]

Thanks Samuel, all good suggestions!

I've linked to a Google Drive doc with a version editable by the public. Do
your worst! (Of course, the ODT from the original message is also editable
by anyone).

Friends: one thing Samuel took issue with was the use of the word 'ransom'
to describe a business model where you create a work and then say you will
release it to the public if you receive $X. I agree that 'ransom' is a
loaded term. Can people think of a term for it (preferably one that has
been used before) that would describe this process?

 A Free, Libre and Open Glossary (Publicly Editable
Version)<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mbc3l-5rHHgum7Nm361K4wmklQJP15nLTUIUlWN9dbs/edit?usp=drive_web>

Cheers,
Chris
