license on this blog

I just noticed that the Creative Commons licence I’ve been operating under before today, the “by-nc license” is not the one I want. (This article has lots of reasons why not to use a non-commercial “nc” license.)

Maybe I should back up. Copyright is bad because it locks up content and doesn’t allow others to use it. In the digital age, this doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. So what I want is to retain ownership of my work while allowing others to use it, provided that they give away the result as well (the NC doesn’t allow them to make money, but I’m changing that to allow for commercial use, as long as they give it away).

So as of today, I’m switching all current and future works to by-sa once I figure out how to change the code at the bottom of each page here.
