Hallo Nele,
#opensource heisst erstmal nur, dass die Quellen zugänglich sind. Damit ist die #software aber nicht kostenfrei.
#publicdomain ist eine gratis software, die aber nicht zwingend #opensource ist.
Es gibt eine Standard GNU Public Licence, die in der Regel die freie Nutzung erlaubt.
Darüberhinaus gibt es auch #opensource und #publicdomain Software deren kommerzielle Verwendung ausgeschlossen ist.

Also: Augen auf beim Softwarekauf.

This is a strawman.

People are (rightly) upset at billionaries stealing both from the commons and from everybody else.

The problem is that right now #copyright (that backs #copyleft) and #dataprotection (#GDPR and so on...) are the only (weak) shield people have to fight back.

They are in fact too weak.

We need a total ridefinition of #PublicDomain, turing the default to a strongly protected #common that can be used freely but only to produce more content (#software, #art...) under the same public domain regime.

We need to turn unprotected #commons to an exception.

And we need stronger data protection and privacy laws, that grant people the right to be paid for any abuse of their data an exponentially growing amount (say 1€ for the first bit, 2€ for the second, 4€ for the third and so on).

Finally, we need to get rid of billionaries. Hopefully, without too much violence.

"First in 1976, and then again in 1998, Congress retroactively extended copyright’s duration by 20 years, for all works, including works whose authors were unknown and long dead, whose proper successors could not be located. Many of these authors were permanently erased from history as every known copy of their works disappeared before they could be brought back into our culture through reproduction, adaptation and re-use. (Copyright is “strict liability,” meaning that even if you pay to clear the rights to a work from someone who has good reason to believe they control those rights, if they’re wrong, you are on the hook as an infringer, and the statutory damages run to six figures.)

Works that are still in our cultural currents 50 or 70 or 90 years after their creation are an infinitesimal fraction of all the works we create as a species. But these works are – by definition – extraordinarily important to our culture. The creators who made these works were able to plunder a rich public domain of still-current works as inputs to their own enduring creations. The slow-motion arson attack on the public domain meant that two generations of creators were denied the public domain that every other creator in the history of the human race had enjoyed." #pluralistic #publicdomain

What Happens if the Internet Archive Goes Dark?

For decades, the Internet Archive has preserved our digital history. Lately, journalists and ordinary citizens have been turning to it more than ever, as the Trump administration undertakes an ideologically-driven purge of government websites.
