| '''Thanks''' I'm really interested in using this resource at some point to bring together all of my thoughts on free culture, privacy, etc. In the meantime, a little maintenance is no problem. [[User:Koavf|Koavf]] 04:06, 13 May 2012 (EDT)

| == Question ==
| |
|
| |
| Hi Mr. Möller,
| |
|
| |
| I have a question about your [[Licenses/NC]] essay. While a lot of it makes sense to me, there is one thing I'm not sure about, and that's how the content creator would earn money from the work. For example, Simon Klose, the director of TPB AFK, [http://www.tpbafk.tv/2013/01/why-i-chose-creative-commons-for-tpb-afk/ chose a -NC license] so that he could sell several TV networks the right to air his film. Otherwise, couldn't they have aired it for free? Similarly, take a book that costs $12 to make. Pretend that there are two copies available for sale, each from a different publisher: Publisher 1 sells it for $12.50, from which $0.25 goes to the author; Publisher 2 sells it for $12.40, from which nothing goes to the author. Why wouldn't the individual costumers or bookstores buy the cheaper one from Publisher 2? TIA. [[User:Kudu|Kudu]] ([[User talk:Kudu|talk]]) 13:09, 9 June 2013 (EDT)

| == Short copyleft licences ==
| |
|
| |
| I like the idea that copyleft licences can be used to prevent derivatives of a free culture work from being re-monopolized, but so far I haven't found any particularly short copyleft licences. Perhaps a copyleft licence can't be quite as short as, say, the ISC licence, but surely it can be made shorter than all the copyleft licences I've seen so far. Do you know of any particularly short copyleft licences that would meet the definition of a free culture licence? [[Special:Contributions/203.79.100.153|203.79.100.153]] 00:04, 30 March 2015 (EDT)

| == Requesting guidance ==
| |
|
| |
| Hi,
| |
|
| |
| Season's greetings. Presently I am translating "[[Definition|definition]]" to [[Definition/Mr|lang-mr]], While translating I am getting a little bit confused,(May be due to my personal linguistic limitations with en) while trying to understand third sentence in the definition summary section, namely:
| |
|
| |
| :*"''The definition distinguishes between free works, and free licenses " ''' ''which'' ''' " can be used to legally protect the status of a free work.''"
| |
|
| |
| :::Here in above sentence whether usage of word '''which''' is reffering to only "free licenses" or it is referring to (word 'The definition' thereby) "free works, and free licenses" ?
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| **If I break above sentence and replacing word ''' ''which'' ''' with "''free licenses''" sentence will look like following :
| |
|
| |
| :::Option 1)The definition distinguishes between free works, and free licenses. Free licenses can be used to legally protect the status of a free work.
| |
|
| |
| ** If I break above sentence and replacing word ''' ''which'' ''' with "''The definition (meaning thereby free works, and free licenses)''" sentence will look like following :
| |
|
| |
| :::Option 2)The definition distinguishes between free works, and free licenses. "''The definition (meaning thereby free works, and free licenses)''" can be used to legally protect the status of a free work.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Prima facia my personal feeling is meaning as per "Option 1)" is expected. But due to my own linguistic limitations I am not feeling sure about it, hence requesting your guidance in understanding expected correct meaning out of the third sentence mentioned in the definition summarry.
| |
|
| |
| Eagerly waiting for your guidance. Thanks and warm regards

| : Yes, meaning 1) is correct. Thank you for your help with the translation!--[[User:Erik Möller|Erik Möller]] ([[User talk:Erik Möller|talk]]) 14:39, 6 November 2015 (EST)

|
| |
| Thanks for prompt support.
| |
|
| |
| To keep you informed I just imported [[Template:Collapse top]] and [[Template:Collapse bottom]] to support glossary section of [[Definition/Mr]] from mrwikipedia- (Template is old version imported from w.commons)
| |
|
| |
| Simillarly we are in need of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Reflist Template:Reflist] to be imported from en-wikipedia for better support to annoted glossary section at [[Definition/Mr]]. (So that we can break ref list in two columns) This being bit technical I will apreciate some one comfortable with template techniques helps us in this task.

| Thanks and warm regards
