More lately, I’ve been working to focusing my advising practice on helping people implement open source software (mostly server-side) in their organizations, providing advice and training.

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. There’s been some interesting activity in the realm of women in open source.

Also, for you Windows types, here is a plain english interpretation of the Windows Vista EULA (End User License Agreement.) Get Ubuntu , and have done already. But if you really want to have done with stuff like this, get Ubuntu. How about this one: " You may not work around any technical limitations in the software."
