Question :

How did you connect between the idea of creative commons and Art?

- History : Netscape, The birth of open-source through the Netscape creators meeting up and deciding to go open-source.

- The idea of open source is to give The source-code along with the software.

-in 2003 people started posting on the internet about sharing videos/music/pictures, professor laurance lessing came up with the idea of Creative "Commons", where "Commons" can stand for anything like any shard resource.

Question:

-By signing any piece of art or literature, your declaring it your own, and noone can use it without your permission, so the idea of Creative Commons is to allow The author/artist to share thier c

Explaing creative Commons terms: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.Share alike : if others want to use your art, they are bound by the terms you specified under the "dreviative" Terms of sharing.

Principles
Piorities: Coming up with projects, you should consider piorities, Jon's Idea is that everybody should own a website, where they can share their ideas ,thoughts and creativity. He qoutes Joi Itto's " Every Person should have a max of 3 piorities", putting religion aside they can be anything from money, family, relationships, friendship, your personall projects or any other thing you see as your piority.

Strenghts and weaknesses: When jon was in beijing he started re-thinking about his strenghts and weaknesses, like his good in social relationship, communications and marketing, he believes his an "ok-coder" !!!! If you work with people who you can cover on their weaknesses and share them your strenghts, then that would help contribute to a project.

Principle "Always Say Yes!" : Always say yes untill you cant say yes anymore, well atleast untill your so in trouble your forced to say no.

The core concept of the principle is helping or doing things that others would just ignore/pass by without caring about, like picking up a shovel to fill a hole that everyone else passed by without bothering themselves to try and contribute in filling the hole.
