yositune's Journal: Moral Rights and Free and Open Source Software (FOSS)

It's interesting to see that author's rights issues are starting to creep up more and more in FOSS discussions--most recently on debian-legal.

I was shocked to see noone talking about it two or three years ago when I was first exposed to the continental moral rights doctrines. I wrote an article on it, which (understandably) wasn't received very well by my fair use friends. It was way too long and needed a good editting and reorg, but ah how time flies.

In any event I need to make sometime and look at this issue again.
