[kiba]

Can you explain what the heck the licensing is about?

[fabianhjr]

Revisions made. :-)

[kiba]

I am not buying any license shit just to be able to submit my stuff under CC0. This is a ripoff.

[fabianhjr]

Well, feedback is welcomed. If you prefer I could remove it and the most 'free' license would be CC-BY.

Please, I am just adding value to bitcoins. Why don't we just talk in a constructive manner?

[FatherMcGruder]

I don't understand. Why not just release issues under a CC-BY-SA. Why more than one license?

Already discussed with kiba about it, already under a single license.(Creative Commons - Public Domain)

[kiba]

Is magazine monthly? Weekly?

A lot of thing can happens within a week.

[fabianhjr]

It will be a monthly release. Starting with the January issue hopefully in the second week.

The magazine itself will be provided under no cost by us under a Creative Commons-Attribution-
No Comercial-Share Alike license.

Contradiction?

You may share it with friends, print it, give it aways, etc. If
this license does not suit you you may buy another one like the Creative Commons-Share Alike
license, which allows you to make derivative works and charge for them provided you give them
under the same license. If you are a CopyFree activist you may buy the Creative Commons -
Public Domain license and give it away or sell it under your license. isn't that great? The best
part is that all contributors get a part on it and allows bitcoin to increase in value.

As soon as someone buys a CC-BY-SA license and shares the issue accordingly, the original license, if it's CC-BY-NC-SA, will no longer apply. If the original "license" is public domain, how can anyone buy a more restrictive license? It just seems like a weird scheme. Why not just stick to something simple, like CC-BY-SA, or let contributors specify licenses for individual articles?

[kiba]

Contradiction?

Um, why are you addressing stuff that's already fixed?

[fabianhjr]

Hey McGruder, I address some issues with kiba and now some aspects had changed for good. My apologies for the confusion.
You may check the revised proposal in the OP. Have a nice day.

[bober182]

Hopefully anarchism will include all sorts not just market, but collective, left, green, direct action, antiwar, antifasicst, all that good stuff.

[fabianhjr]

Yeah, while it is rated PG-13 and below feel free to submit it. :-)
I know you can write about something. :-)

[Bimmerhead]

Interesting idea fabian, thanks for putting it out there.

So is this where we bid to be one of the judges?  If so, put me down for 10 BTC.

[fabianhjr]

Indeed it is. Articles(draft or complete) for approval get sent via PM to me; I will then PM them to the judges.
Even if you are not going to bid for a vote I invite you to suggest a name. Judges will then choose the best.

Have a nice day. :-)

[FatherMcGruder]

...invite you to suggest a name. Judges will then choose the best.

My suggestions: Bitsauce, Coin. Maybe I'll come up with others.

[kiba]

I am doing an interview with a community member.

[fabianhjr]

Hey, where are the articles? You could surely make some money in Bitcoins right now!
By the way, "Coin Magazine" sounds cool.

[genjix]

Would you pay me for an article?

If you're interested here's some of my writings,

Best one is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Genjix/Free_Software
As you can see I've been meaning to do a Bitcoin article already. Most of my writings are anarchist/left/free market.

Here's another recent article I wrote:

(ED article on Bitcoin)

My edits to Bitcoin Wikipedia article which helped satisfy the criteria and get it out of incubator status:
From (old version): http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Article_Incubator/Bitcoin&oldid=401594747
To (my updates): http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bitcoin&oldid=401922676
Another article that took me several days,

I'd really enjoy to write one of these articles for 200-400 BTC depending on the length/quality needed. And I'm not worried what license is used.
