Contributions of any sort (text suggestions, ideas, feedback,
|
|
criticism) from all interested individuals are welcome and encouraged.
|
|
All original contributions to Copyleft.next are dedicated to the
|
|
public domain to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law,
|
|
pursuant to CC0. See CC0 for further details.
|
|
|
|
Contributions from individual free/libre/open source software project
|
|
participants, regardless of their views on copyleft, and regardless of
|
|
their opinions on existing licenses such as the GNU GPLv2 and its
|
|
successors, are especially welcome and strongly encouraged.
|
|
|
|
Given the nature of the subject matter, it is conceivable that lawyers
|
|
will wish to participate in this project. All actual and potential
|
|
participants are on notice that this project is governed by the Harvey
|
|
Birdman Rule (see below). While lawyers are as welcome to participate
|
|
as anyone else, lawyers should take particular care in noting the
|
|
requirements of the Harvey Birdman Rule, as past lawyer-dominated
|
|
participatory FLOSS legal endeavors were often operated in a manner
|
|
contrary to such norms.

Harvey Birdman Rule
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Subject to revision and further elaboration, the Harvey Birdman Rule
|
|
means:
|
|
|
|
* Contributions in the form of word-processing documents (even if in
|
|
a free/open standard format), "redlined" or otherwise, are
|
|
unacceptable and will be deleted immediately.
|
|
|
|
* No private mailing lists (governed by the so-called Chatham House
|
|
Rule or similar) will be used by this project. If mailing lists
|
|
are used, their archives will be public.
|
|
|
|
* All who wish to contribute are expected to do so by using the same
|
|
software development methodology already in place for this project
|
|
(for example, the use of git).
|
|
|
|
* Private telephone calls, private teleconferences and private
|
|
in-person meetings shall not be used to discuss substantive
|
|
development of this project.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Public Source Locations
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
Gitorious (https://gitorious.org/copyleft-next) is now the centralized
|
|
location of source for this project. It will be mirrored at a GitHub
|
|
repo (currently https://github.com/richardfontana/Copyleft.next) for
|
|
the time being, and perhaps indefinitely.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Issue Tracking
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
The issue tracker associated with
|
|
https://github.com/richardfontana/Copyleft.next shall be kept open for the
|
|
time being, but at some point it is likely to be disabled.
