Can we build a library of OpenSocial applications that have open source licenses? The ability to be able to move my social network around wherever on the Internet I want to go is important.

I had a brief conversation by email with Cory Doctorow , a science fiction author who is also a copyleft activist, who releases everything he writes with a CC license. He suggested, basically, find the publisher first, then talk about the license second. If, perchance, you might want to read it, drop me an email.)

But I’m sure that their services pricing has been adjusted to account for loss of licensing revenue. Without the s/w to install it (and strongly suspecting that doing so just to “check it out&# is a waste of time), I have to believe that their goal here is to get clients to buy services.
