1. The document discusses how social commerce is changing the way companies convert users into customers by integrating social networks like Facebook into the shopping process.
2. It argues companies should create "fan stores" that offer exclusive discounts and content to encourage social sharing rather than just simple Facebook stores.
3. Various examples are provided of companies that encourage social behaviors like sharing purchases with friends, asking friends for recommendations, or shopping together to increase sales.

1. The document discusses how social commerce is evolving beyond just integrating Facebook features like "Like" buttons on websites. True social commerce involves understanding what users want and expect from social interactions and purchases.
2. Key aspects of social commerce include user reviews and recommendations from friends influencing purchase decisions, products being discovered through social networks, and shopping becoming a more social experience where users can discuss purchases in real-time.
3. Brands are looking to integrate social profiles and conversations more fully into their online experiences and shopping processes to better understand customer relationships and encourage viral marketing through social currencies and conversations.

This document contains two headings: "Ported Jurisdictions" and "Jurisdictions In Progress". It appears to be listing legal jurisdictions that have either been ported, meaning transferred or adapted, or are currently in progress of being ported. However, no details or explanations are provided under the headings.
The document discusses biotechnology as a global industry and commodity. It addresses how biotech involves decoding DNA through projects like the Human Genome Project. It explores how biotech is a global industry involving agroindustry, pharmaceutical companies, and transnational corporations. Maps and statistics are presented showing the global scope and policies around commercialized biotech crops and intellectual property regarding biological materials. Examples of contested patents on human genomes and biological materials are discussed. Several art projects are also mentioned that relate to biopolitics and the appropriation of life.
The document summarizes a study being conducted to develop a definition for the term "non-commercial" as it relates to Creative Commons licenses. The study is in Phase II, gathering understandings of non-commercial use from interviews and focus groups with the goal of accurately defining the term. Phase III will test improved definitions through additional focus groups and surveys to inform any needed policy changes or license revisions and publicly release the findings. The study has an international scope, gathering input from diverse study participants, interviewees, focus group members, and survey respondents.
This document summarizes a lecture on relocating cyberfeminism in the context of the current knowledge economy. The lecture argues that while cyberfeminism in the 1990s aimed to overcome the patriarchal nature of digital culture through technical empowerment, the current social web paradigm has resulted in users freely contributing labor and content to increase the economic value of major tech companies. Specifically, companies like MySpace own users' data and online relationships, extracting value based on user numbers and brand recognition rather than real goods or services. The knowledge economy is now driven by speculative financial flows detached from real-world production, calling for a reexamination of cyberfeminism's role in critiquing relations of power in this new context
This document discusses using Creative Commons licenses for design projects.

This document discusses several main issues regarding open source software licenses:
1. It outlines common elements of open source licenses including allowing users to perform acts like installation, use, and modification of source code.
2. It describes different types of open source licenses like the GPL, MIT, and BSD licenses and how the GPL includes a "copyleft" or viral clause requiring derivatives to also be open source.
3. It discusses legal issues that can arise with open source licenses like license compatibility, patents, and third party rights. Proper contributor agreements can help address ownership and copyright issues.
Puneet Kishor - The new Creative Commons 4.0 Licence – what’s new and why it’...dri_ireland
This document summarizes an international non-profit organization that:
- Enables sharing and use of creativity and knowledge through free legal tools.
- Develops, supports, and stewards legal and technical infrastructure that maximizes digital creativity, sharing, and innovation.
- Was founded in 2001 and is headquartered in the Bay Area.
The document discusses options for revising the noncommercial (NC) licenses in Creative Commons' version 4.0 release. It notes that NC licenses have issues like a lack of clear definition, underuse of non-NC licenses, and built-in non-interoperability. Some proposed options are: (1) phasing out NC licenses over time, (2) simplifying the suite by dropping two NC licenses, (3) rebranding NC licenses under a different domain, or (4) clarifying the NC definition. The document analyzes pros and cons of different approaches but does not make a recommendation.
This document summarizes legal and other issues related to the use of open source software. It defines key terms like proprietary software, open source software, and freeware. It discusses and compares licensing terms for proprietary vs open source software. It notes advantages and disadvantages of each for procurement purposes. It provides guidance on sharing software within the Commonwealth while complying with licensing terms. It emphasizes the importance of conducting best value procurement that considers technical, legal and business factors for both proprietary and open source options.

It provides guidance on sharing and procuring software following best value practices in Massachusetts.
The document provides an overview of open source licensing. It defines open source software as software with an open source license that gives users the rights to use, modify, and distribute the software as well as access its source code. Prominent open source programs and vendors are listed. The history and roles of the Open Source Initiative (OSI) and Open Source Definition (OSD) are described. Common open source licenses like the GPL, BSD, and Mozilla licenses are outlined and compared. The risks and benefits of open source software are briefly discussed.
The document discusses open source software licenses. It defines open source and compares it to public domain and freeware licenses. The main open source licenses discussed are the GNU General Public License (GPL) and Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) license. The GPL requires derivatives to also use the GPL while the BSD allows derivatives to use other licenses. Pros of open source development cited include peer review, motivated community contributions, and avoidance of vendor lock-in. Potential cons include projects becoming niche or fragmented.
A brief introduction to open source licenses, why they are important, different types of licenses, and challenges related open source software licenses. Latter part of the presentation also talks a bit about how to apply Apache Licence to a project.
This document discusses the intersection of blockchain technology, open source software, and patents. Some key points include:
1) Open source licenses can "taint" proprietary software if they are combined, requiring the proprietary software to also be open source. This impacts business models.
2) Open source software can still be patented. Patents are an important issue to consider with open source use and contributions.
3) Certain open source licenses require licensees to grant patent licenses, sometimes broadly, which many organizations do not expect.
4) Asserting patent claims against open source users can trigger penalties under some licenses, such as losing the right to use the open source software.
5) Network access models

The document discusses copyright and open source software. It notes that copyrighted or proprietary software restricts modifications and distribution of source code, while open source software allows users freedoms to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve through licenses like copyleft. Copyleft uses copyright to guarantee these freedoms by requiring distributions of derived works be licensed under the same terms. The document discusses advantages of open source like lower costs, accessibility of source code, and ongoing improvements, but also notes potential disadvantages like lack of support and incongruent license terms. It examines legal cases around open source licenses and concludes the future favors open source as more organizations adopt it.
The document discusses topics related to free and open source licensing such as the goals of Creative Commons 4.0 licenses, issues around copyleft and non-commercial clauses, interoperability between licenses, and alignment of CC licenses with other open licenses like GPL. It raises questions about improving areas like moral rights, DRM restrictions, and increasing clarity between copyright and Creative Commons.

Creative Commons licenses have three layers - a legal code, a commons deed that summarizes the legal terms, and a machine-readable version. There are four license pieces that can be combined to create six licenses total. All require attribution of the original author. Other pieces include allowing adaptations if shared under the same license (CC-BY-SA), prohibiting commercial use (CC-BY-NC), and prohibiting derivatives (CC-BY-ND). Creative Commons also has a public domain tool to dedicate works directly to the public domain or allow any use. Copyright exceptions are not affected by Creative Commons licenses.
Anatomy of a Creative Commons (CC) Licence Robert Farrow
Creative Commons licenses allow authors to specify how others can use and build upon their copyrighted works. There are three layers to a CC license: the legal code, human-readable description, and machine-readable code. CC licenses combine four elements - Attribution, ShareAlike, NonCommercial, and NoDerivatives - into six main licenses that determine whether derivatives and commercial uses are allowed. The licenses ensure attribution while enabling uses beyond traditional "fair use" exceptions.
This document discusses two common issues with platforms' terms of service regarding Creative Commons licensed content:
1. Platforms require a direct license for all uploaded content rather than respecting the CC license, granting the platform broad rights.
2. Platform terms impose additional restrictions that contradict what is allowed by the CC license, such as prohibiting downloads or commercial use.
It examines problems these issues cause both theoretically and practically, and considers ways platforms and CC licenses could address the problems, such as platforms explicitly acknowledging users' rights to reuse CC content or CC changing licenses. Other platform issues discussed are frequent terms changes, prioritizing their own licenses over public ones, limiting license options, and making attribution and access difficult.
Open Source Hardware and Developments in Creative Commons Licenses, Compatibi...Mike Linksvayer
This document summarizes Mike Linksvayer's presentation on developments in Creative Commons licenses and their relevance to open source hardware. Some key points:
- CC BY-SA 4.0 and CC BY 4.0 licenses have improvements that make them more globally applicable and easier to understand and comply with.
- CC BY-SA 4.0 is now bilaterally compatible with the Free Art License, allowing works to be adapted between the two licenses.
- The CC BY-SA 4.0 and CC BY 4.0 licenses explicitly exclude patents from the license, avoiding potential confusion.
- Open source hardware projects seeking patent collaboration could explore licenses that include patent grants, like GPLv3, or
The document defines key software licensing terms like proprietary software, open source software, and freeware. It then discusses the main advantages and disadvantages of proprietary versus open source licenses. Some key points made include: proprietary software often provides indemnification and support while open source allows modifications but lacks warranties. Different open source licenses vary in terms of source code sharing requirements and whether modifications must be shared. Overall the document provides a high-level overview of different software licensing models and some of their key characteristics.
Towards License Interoperability: Patterns of Sustainable Sharing PolicyMike Linksvayer
The document discusses challenges and progress toward legal interoperability for open content and public sector information (PSI) licensing. It describes how free/libre open source software (FLOSS) has largely achieved interoperability over 25+ years through efforts like the GPL and agreements on definitions. For open content and PSI, proliferation of licenses initially caused issues, but adoption of Creative Commons licenses and others has increased, though database rights remain a challenge. Key initiatives like CC and Open Knowledge Foundation are working to resolve remaining incompatibilities and reduce unnecessary license proliferation to fully realize the potential of openly licensed content and PSI through interoperability.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
