Re: [libreplanet-discuss] GFDL with Invariant Sections or other unmodifiable parts. Was: Final Thesis: H-node

[Bruno Félix Rezende Ribeiro]

Hello all.

I believe that preventing people from modifying or using, for any
purpose, a published work is ethically wrong.  No one deserves and can
possibly justify, on ethical grounds, such a power over other people's
life.  Therefore, something like CC-*-ND, GNU Verbatim, GFDL's invariant
sections and CC-*-NC should not exist.

I also strongly believe that releasing a work under a free but
non-copylefted license is morally wrong.  Because when you have the
ability and opportunity to prevent an injustice from happening it is
your moral duty to do so.  So, licenses like C0 or BSD should not exist.

Finally, under the light of the previous standpoints, I believe that
mandatory attribution is ethically illegitimate.  People should only
attribute a derivative work if they feel they should do so.  Thus,
CC-*-BY, for instance, should not exist.

I think that convincing RMS is half way to get there.
