Would you be willing to provide examples of the types of works you are asking to be made libre/free? Or provide examples of how you are asking? It's tough to provide advice without knowing what / how you are asking. (No need to name anyone specifically.) I saw from some other responses where you are coming from re: the principals of giving to the commons, and I do sympathize with that in general. On the flip side, I hope you understand that there are many artists and programmers who are asked to work for free / "for exposure" on a daily basis. Exposure and the common good, unfortunately, does not pay the rent. For many folks asking for their work to be given away freely is akin to saying "I feel your work is worthless". Or worse "I feel your work is worth something, but I / the world should be able to benefit from your work without you being compensated for providing me that benefit." Even for folks sympathetic to free/libre principals, being able to give away one's work freely to the world is to be in a position of privilege, where they can work purely for principal of the common good because their own material needs are already being met. For many folks, that simply isn't the case. |
