• licensing is crucial if you're creating a wiki etc.
• CC BY 3.0 is an option on youtube. CC BY-SA 4.0 is used by wikipedia. not sure either is best.

For all #FreeSoftware newbies out there who are in search of sounds for their #software or #games, here's a a handy #guide on how to find the correct sounds on https://freesound.org:

Speaking of #FreeCulturalWorks: The original #MickeyMouse from the ancient #cartoon Steamboat Willie will enter the #PublicDomain in the #UnitedStates very very soon, after like 95 (?) years of being copyrighted. 🎉🎉🎉

I'm not really a Mickey fan but this moment will be of symbolic significance. I wonder what people will do with the #mouse. 😛

#Disney #copyright

An example for a Free Cultural Work would be Nose Ears, the #webcomic I've been posting for >2 years. 🤓 It has been derived from another webcomic that is also a free cultural work. Nose Ears has become my biggest "side project" and is only possible because of Free Cultural Works.

(btw: getting close to no. 800!)

For those who wonder what this weird "Approved for Free Cultural Works" means, it's this: https://freedomdefined.org/Definition

It's basically free software principles applied to #media.

In practice this translates to media licensed under CC0, CC BY or CC BY-SA (but not CC BY-NC, for example). There are other valid licenses, check the website for details.

#CreativeCommons #FreeCulturalWorks #FreeSoftware #libre #copyright

Still, I think it would have been better if #Freesound.org would have never allowed non-libre sounds (like -NC) to begin with, but it's better than nothing.

I mean, #Wikimedia Commons has been proving for a very long time it's possible.

#NonCommercial #NonFree #Licensing #FreeCulturalWorks

I just saw the new #freesound.org. And I immediately noticed one new feature I've been waiting for years: A one-click #libre #license
filter.

Before, you had to awkwardly do two searches for CC0 and CC BY separately to get all libre sounds.

But now you just need to click on "Approved for Free Cultural Works" and you get a list of all libre sounds! Very good! 👍

This will be extremely helpful for #FOSS development.

You know who does a wonderful job with sharing Free Cultural works? @jcolag does. Most of the stuff I have found that is Free Culture has been through his blog. Please go read it.

code-hosting-hopping (without particular dates):

1️⃣ Launchpad.net
2️⃣ Savannah.nongnu.org
3️⃣ Gitorious.org
4️⃣ Bitbucket.org
5️⃣ GitLab.com
6️⃣ ?

Maybe there will be no 6️⃣. I'm drained and also tired of feeling like a freeloader 😔

Is it too much to ask for an unconditional hosting platform with unlimited resources? 🙃

Currently wondering if there are plans to create a fully #libre / #FreeCulturalWorks asset replacement pack for the newly released source code of #AmnesiaTheDarkDescent , a la #FreeDOOM.

Wondering when will @TayZonday@twitter.com drop the NC clause off the @creativecommons@twitter.com license for his music, so it can be #FreeCulturalWorks
