I've never put any thought into licensing and copyrighting before. After watching the youtube clip and reading a bit, I've come to the conclusion that ideas do mankind the most good when they are shared and free; especially in a culture dominated by the media. That being said, I choose to give the public the right to copy, distribute, display, and perform my work, as well as to make derivative works from it. This allows commercial use. I'm still a little apprehensive of the thought of letting someone I don't even know make money off of my ideas, because the business may be corrupt, environmentally unfriendly, or possibly an outright a detriment to society. I know that's a long shot, but the point is, I don't like the idea of my work being used by a commercial entity in a way that I may be upset over. Despite this, my work could give others the inspiration or assistance in the making of something I would be pleased with. After some reasoning I've decided that giving others the freedom to use my work however they please gives my ideas the freedom to become something greater, with the understood, inherent risk that they could become something worse (whether for commercial use or not). I do have two conditions: first, anyone who uses my work must attribute it; and second, if anyone alters, transforms, or builds upon my work, they may only distribute the resulting work under the same, similar or a compatible license. If I understand this correctly, this means that if someone uses my work, they have to act in accordance with my license. If this is so, their derivative work must be free to the public as well since I licensed my ideas to be free to everyone. So to sum this up, I think that mankind is best served when ides are free to all so that the synergistic effects of such freedom may result in the growth of our understanding and the advancement of our endeavors. (I know that's a little wordy)
