Do you know your content isn't free? Berne convention means it's copyright by default. And people don't know.

Why I made APDS, how we use it on Appropedia.

Linux documentation is very poor - wikis should be solving this. But 1 there's no clear, single Linux wiki. Most of the huge amount of content generated daily is not under an open license. If I've spent hours figuring out a problem - I won't spend more time chasing permissions.

What to do?

  • Add a CC mark
  • Ask your forum to make all posts free (e.g. CC-by, CC-by-sa or PD)
