 Copyleft Copyleft is used in the form of licenses for granting the right to freely distribute and modify intellectual property. The distributed and modified version of a work also have the same copyleft rights as from the original. Strong copyleft These licenses demand that all software that is made by altering the original must retain the license of the original.  This kind of software is also difficult to integrate into hybrid systems which consist of software with different licenses. Good example of strong copyleft is the GNU GPL. Example: GNU GPL The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0). The freedom to study how the program works, and changing it as you wish (freedom 1). The freedom to redistribute copies to anyone (freedom 2).

Nobody would say it's fair to get full credit for having done 0,1% of the entire project. Thus brings me to the fact that copyrights are only done for financial reasons, greedy ones at that. Under no circumstances should it be allowed that h...

  CHALLENGES OF THE GLOBAL INFORMATION SOCIETY Himamen had written 10 global trends that were strong in progress since 2004 of which some would be finalized in 2010. The trends would increase the demand for care of welfare, make innovative jobs more needed and popular than ever and so would the need for education and experts rise as well, as more developed countries cannot rely on routine jobs, which get then pushed onto cheaper countries such as China and India. Himanen then goes to show the analysis of the economic models that are used around the globe. Silicon Valley model - The American neo-liberalist model (the predominant model) Singapore model - The Asian staterun model (emerging model) Finnish model - The European combination of the information society and the welfare state As the world is having trouble dealing with the cons of their models, in the analysis he specifically revised the European model into something that also supports the growth of welfare. The objective be...
