Free Writing Beginnings

Free Writing Beginnings

So, this is the start of a little blog to encourage writers to commit to or at least dabble in setting their work Free (libre Free, not necessarily gratis free.)

I personally a Copyleft Free license along the lines of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license:

Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 United States (CC BY-SA 3.0)
BY-SA 3.0 Legal Code

but if you are not one for Copyleft, then something like the Creative Commons Attribution license:

Attribution 3.0 United States (CC BY 3.0)
BY 3.0 Legal Code

Think about it. If you are willing to commit, great! Let us know in comments and post links to your Free works.

If you are not sure, or even if you are dead set against it, why not experiment with it. Chose one or a few possibly small works and set it(them) Free. Let us know about it. See what happens.

Let's discuss what we learn and where it takes us.

Of course, if you are not in the US, there may be a license for your country and there is also an unported license.

all the best,

drew
