[Open-access] [FOSsil Bank Update] 13 January 2013

[Chris Sakkas]

Hi folks,

 It's been a while since the last FOSsil Bank update, both because I've
been busy and because I haven't found many new works recently. I've also
stopped adding most non-libre works when I come across them, which means
this update has the greatest ratio of libre to non-libre works so far.

 As always, if you know of works under public copyright licences (and,
particularly, under free/libre/open licences) you can add them to the wiki
yourself or email me and I'll add them. The same is also true for
free/libre/open projects that are available for sale or are in the process
of being crowdfunded, which I tweet about using the hashtag
#FundFreeCulture.
Dedication

This update is dedicated to Aaron
Swartz,<http://rememberaaronsw.tumblr.com/>who died on the 11th of
January.
#FundFreeCulture

funded on unglue.it, though the libre edition is not yet available. It
raised $2,682 of its $2,500 goal (this goal was revised down from the
original of $9,000 before the campaign ended). (CC BY-SA)

to be over.
