This week I was horrified when @adityavm moved from the most evil of Creative Commons licenses (BY-NC-ND) to All Rights Reserved. As an advocate of free culture I began to realize just how dangerous it can be to walk that evil line of just-barely-free. I took a long, hard look at my own licensing practices and decided it was time to open up. All previous and future entries on my blog (unless otherwise noted) are now licensed CC-BY. Let freedom reign!

Why not go all the way and make it Public Domain?

@Trev – nice, but there’s something to be said for attribution 😉 CC-BY infringes on no “rights” (/uses) others could want (except to plagarize) – they can share, reuse, remix, etc to their hearts’ content (similar to MIT/BSD for code)
