     Why are the @creativecommons badges so low quality? The pixelation is ugly and looks unprofessional. Makes me not want to use them!

     @exador23, remember that gov't-produced items are *public domain*. There is a nasty dance around that, but here change.gov is not gov't.

     @jasonriedy I'm guessing it applies to the user-generated content, or is that supposed to be public domain also?

     @exador23: That is awesome. We need more F/OSS in government.

     @gamerchick02: Yeah, our public transport may work, but it's still like being in a cattle market at peak times. Ew

   • Hippy Steve Amy H.

     @gamerchick02 amen to that. I still think change.gov should create their own microblogging server (laconica would be an OTS solution:)

     @exador23: Very good idea. :)

     Good catch, @exador23. Contributions must be CC-BY. And the "transition project" is not a gov't entity (?), so it is nice to see CC-BY.

     I just get annoyed at the copyright assignment dance the gov't uses to avoid the public domain, @exador23, so I get touchy. ;)

     @jasonriedy it's a good thing to get touchy about. copywrong is one of those leverage points wherein changing it wld have widespread effects
