Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Enforcing gratisness for uses/derivatives while dedicating something to Public Domain?
1·16 hours agoCC-BY-SA does neither prevent, say, a BlendSwap (where there are CC-licensed and even CC0/PD models made by artists for artists, but also an exclusionary “Plans” page) from charging users for downloading a model meant to be gratis, nor prevent them from omitting external links to the artist’s own sources where anyone could get it for truly free.
It does require attribution though. You can request a link to be a part of attribution. CC BY-SA license, §3.a.1.A:
If You Share the Licensed Material (including in modified form), You must:
-
retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor with the Licensed Material:
I. identification of the creator(s) of the Licensed Material and any others designated to receive attribution, in any reasonable manner requested by the Licensor (including by pseudonym if designated);
II. a copyright notice;
<…>. V. a URI or hyperlink to the Licensed Material to the extent reasonably practicable;
I highly recommend reading both licenses in full before considering applying them to your work.
The first case, for me, would be okay if said blog weren’t to exclude other people from accessing because they can’t afford paying for access
If you post an NC-derivative work on YouTube or a similar blogging site, and the platform has ads or sponsorships, and the creator gets a cut of ad revenue via a monetisation program (55% on YouTube), you are violating terms of the variant. I’m not a lawyer, but I believe that even if you are not in the monetisation program you still can’t post BY-NC-… derivative works on YouTube per their terms of service because if YouTube would make even a cent from a video or a post with it they would violate this license.
The second case, definitely a no-no
Well, physical items can’t all be free as they require limited materials to craft (wood, fabric…) and, unlike digital goods, can’t be duplicated indefinitely. Nonetheless, BY-SA would allow everyone to make a copy of the product as close as they would like with their own materials, using monetary investment one entrepreneur poured in to everyone’s most benefit.
I’m not aware of a license, a fortiori a decenly popular one, that would permit ubiquitous monetisation and forbid selling of a derivative work in any form.

2·2 days agoYou seem to have a very uncommon system of religious/spiritual beliefs I, as most people, are not really aware about. You probably should have prefaced your post with explanation of who is “Her”, ”Her principles”, how channeling of spiritual energy works and a link to description of ideas and/or dogmas behind this teaching in some neutral encyclopedia. We can only help you with concerns phrased in a way a secular person can understand.
Oh… you mean… CC-BY-NC-SA is yet to be tested legally, is it?
That’s not the main concern, legally they all seem to work. The problem is, a person cannot make one derivative work based on two works, one under BY-SA, one under BY-SA-NC, as these licenses are requiring different conditions for derivative works. And BY-SA has a significantly larger body of works already under it. Popularizing NC increases license fragmentation and harms future derivative interoperability. SA already protects sufficiently against most predatory copyright privatisation.
The list of commercial usages that NC theoretically prohibits includes, for example, collecting monetisation from a blog with this work posted or drawing it on a hand-made craft that would be sold in an indie shop.

Technology@lemmy.world•These medical AIs for diagnosis and treatment decisions are at least as good as doctorsEnglish
1·2 days agoCan be huge for developing countries where doctors are constantly understaffed. These AIs rivaling with American doctors make them on average more qualified than people currently employed there.

3·2 days agoAn attribution requirement isn’t enough to enforce a share-alike clause, it has to be there from the beginning.
You can select Wikipedia’s CC BY-SA license that requires to keep derivative projects under CC BY-SA. I don’t think CC SA without BY exists, but you can partially waive attribution requirements yourself as Wikipedia does this.
Also, for “free as in grantis” there is CC BY-NC-SA that explicitly bans commercial use, but I wouldn’t recommend it’s use as it’s not compatible with the orders of magnitude more popular BY-SA. A regular BY-SA license doesn’t prohibit from selling your or derivative works by another party, but it also allows everyone to legally “pirate” these works, so there’s little problem for the NC variant to solve.
BTW, any licenses imposing any restrictions can’t be called “public domain”, there are other words to describe them like “freely licensed”.

2·5 days agoWhy are only some executable and source code file formats blocked? Wouldn’t it make sense to also block Python, Pascal, Fortran, MatLab, JS, TS, BF, ELF, A, B, C, C++, C#, D files?
Malware distributors would find another way, and broad restrictions would only frustrate legitimate users.
What country and why?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•[Ethics] Why do people condemn Zoophilia on the basis of other animal's inability to consent but those same people kill animals without asking for their consent? Why such inconsistency?
1·5 days agoGame theory is about extracting personal good from cooperation. Game theory has nothing to say against boiling your cat alive as it has no leverage on you.
In societies where things like slavery existed for centuries or even millennias, owners had great evolutionary benefit from owning slaves. Their descendants hold some privileges to this day. Game theory was on their side.
Did you watch “86”? In this show, San-Magnolia was a country populated exclusively with blonde people, referred as “alba”. People with non-white hair (referred as “colorata”) were sent to internment camps outside the state walls and conscripted to fight in a war in a hope to regain at least some rights.
It was later revealed that over 10 million colorata and zero alba were killed in the later stage of the war, and if original prognosis on enemy forces ceasing to operate in a few years would be correct, alba people would totally win the evolutionary race and no game theory would bring justice. Doesn’t sound great if your hair happens to be brown or red.

1·5 days agoIf it were for pure game theory, slavery would still exist in some form (legally, because illegal slavery is still wide-spread IRL). Why would we care to liberate a useful caste of human servants if they would lose all means to rebel against a modern army? Granted, they could kill someone in an uprising, but so does cattle occasionally injure and kill farmers. Any great injustice is justified by game theory at the end.

1·5 days agoAn idea that species can “be meant to do x” by y has roots in teleological philosophy. Aincent Greeks believed that gods designed and meant us to live a certain way, this approach was adapted by other religions. It cannot be applied to evolution as evolution is a sequence of random events, some more likely than other.
We have evolved to, under certain conditions, when it increases our or our relatives’ chances of survival or recreation, kill others of our species or enact violence against them, including the type of violence that increases the expected number of offsprings of the person enacting it, but nobody argues we should build ethics around it.

Memes@lemmy.ml•Not Pictured: US Empire propping up Zelenskyyys nazi government to kick off the proxy war
2·14 days agoTankie is a pejorative for those who defend socialist states.
Never heard it used against democratic socialists who acknowledged mistakes of the past.
The “authoritarian” part doesn’t really make any sense, considering the Marxist analysis of authority is that what matters most is which class has the authority of the state.
So you believe there were no authoritarian socialist states in history? Ones that silenced critics, shot protesters, censored press and didn’t have competitive elections? Lol.
Either way, the ethnic cleansing of the Donbass region was widely reported even by western organizations until 2022, then this was all wiped away and minimized.
This war killed almost half a million people already on all sides combined (if we believe Russian MoD, this number way exceeds a million). Do you think the “ethnic cleansing” would kill this much in a thousand years? According to DPR-operated media, only 17 people died in last years before 2022 on Donbas, most from uncleaned minefields.
Could just write “18 Mm from home”.
