Hi all,
I'm a teacher and I live in the so called "Developing
Nations". All this
license inflation and eruption seems to protect markets and
not the
licensors and the ones wich recive the licenced work. I'm
against
license proliferation in that sense. Childs are part of a
community and
they need to be able to create inside that community in a
continuum
where other people is creating and share in the same terms.
Cheers,
Offray
