No decision today, but can you help us build a list of people who should see the film PatentAbsurdity? http://ur1.ca/032it !gnu !fsf !lp !fs

@mattl: as long as it is CC BY-ND I think no one should see it. #patentabsurdity #ohtheirony #frustrated

@pietercolpaert why do you want derivatives of political statements? so you can claim someone said something else? :)
-
@mattl are there any subtitles (at least in English) for this film? my listening skill is pretty poor :(

@pietercolpaert BY-ND is just a clarification of the Verbatim copying license that the FSF and GNU has used for years http://ur1.ca/03308

@rrh http://en.swpat.org/wiki/Patently_Absurd/Subtitles -- in various states of completion.

@ruiseabra - No 'cause I want to use it so I can explain my opinion, refine it, translate it, ... http://ur1.ca/vk53

@ruiseabra - On top of that you cannot claim someone said something else because with BY-SA you have to link back to the original work
-
@mattl thank you! :)
-
@mattl and I don't agree with it at all. http://ur1.ca/vk53
-
@pietercolpaert "BY" means you've got to preserve attribution, nothing about a link back.
-
@pietercolpaert you can use any 100% proprietary film to explain your opinion. refining other's statements is not a good freedom :)
-
@pietercolpaert and I'm sure that if you ask, they'll let you translate it.
-
@pietercolpaert I'm not saying it's perfect (I don't think it is) but it's certainly not something new or shocking. Tell the film-maker!

@ruiseabra leads to permission culture. I wanted to derive the work so I could translate it, replace the slides by a voice and screen it.

@mattl I figured at some point he might google his movie and click on my blogpost himself. OTOH I'm glad you don't deny my arguments

@pietercolpaert that's gNewBook, of course -_-'

@pietercolpaert I didn't read your blog post, tbh. But you should email him directly -- press@[movie website] and let him know.
