[okfn-discuss] [OKFN-EN] Software Sustainability Institute workshop on IP, copyright, licensing & commercialisation

[Aaron Wolf]

+1 Peter's call for truly Free/Libre/Open license. NC is non-Open by the
Open definition along with many others.

I encourage CC-BY-SA though, as I like copyleft to keep things
Free/Libre/Open for all. But either way. CC-BY is fine too.
