“Open Source Licensing – Software Freedom and Intellectual Property Law”.

Is a book available here. With the large collection of licenses out there, between the GPL, LGPL, Creative Commons and all the others, it is at times hard to keep a track of them all and understand them all.

The kind of site that screams of the need for bb!

The range of content seems truly amazing, and with 1 petabyte of data, there’s gotta be something interesting in there.

Bit of fun with the Gimp…
