And whilst the #SSPL has it's own problems that disqualify it, a "#ShareAlike" provision requiring public code to remain #public could be added to any #FLOSS #license, not just @creativecommons licenses.

I.e. "Any used versions - released as part of a product or on their own - must have their #SourceCode released in public for everyone to access and reproducably build with no form of barriers!"

Why is #sharealike the most powerful #free #license in existence? It's simple:

1. Copying is not stealing, therefore it should not be prohibited (see exceptions reply).
2. Proper attribution stops plagiarism (which is lying, not stealing).
3. Sharealike means no one else can hypocritically bind your creative work to arbitrary IP or #copyright laws.

In the #software world, it's often called #copyleft and achieves the same goal. Even the #creativecommons agrees!

I was a little worried after I set up my own #Mastodon #instance and saw absolutely nothing that I just wasted my time and money. After figuring out the need to follow people first, THEN use hastags, everything is starting to make sense.

I talk about #writing #storytelling #privacy and my ever increasing disdain for #intellectualproperty #copyright and my ever increasing love for #opensource #foss #creativecommons and #sharealike creative projects.

If you make stuff, I'd like to see it 👀

Last week, I got a visual prototype together of how a drumming robot should wield a stick. FROM THE WRIST! #BatmanMeme Most drumbots just pull the stick down to "deadhit" the skin. There's a lot of work to do on that part of this project, but meanwhile, there's also some basic electronics to prove the concept.

A drumbot needs a motor to flick the stick, then pull the stick quickly, but gently, back to rest and hold it there. It also needs to read MIDI note velocity and map that to the motor's useful powerband. Finally, the motor has to quickly and quietly restore the stick to its ready position.

All this requires complex motor control, Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to be exact, and a microcontroller to read the MIDI Note-On data and have each part of drumbot respond appropriately.

Circuitry and basic code are proven. I'll probably end up blowing up 4, VERY expensive MOSFETs in my first attempt, but hey, we're on this earth to make mistakes, and thereby make the future. This is not a cheap project, either, and is third in my project queue, so it will take some time.

A bit of self promotion. As there as been an influx of new followers, I would just like to let you know that I have produced a #calendar for the #NewYear which you can view and download from

I really dig @JeniT's essay on openness here.

Explicitly including #community building in the definition of #openness is a powerful enhancement that makes it clear that our obligations extend to deliberately crafting communities.

I used to think of copyleft / #sharealike licenses as more restrictive & less #open, a necessary evil. But reframed this way they're entirely consistent with the true goal.
