Open and closed sourcing – what is it?

When I was researching open and closed sourcing to feed into this blog post, I found this really cool video…

If you are like me, when reading an article, you probably didn’t watch that video. But I’m going to suggest that you rewind and go and watch it, because nothing of what I’m going to say will make any sense without it.

I’m serious! Watch it!

The thing I loved most about this video, is not the fact that it was done with lego, or used real life examples. But at the very end of the video, the narrator mentions that he has allowed the video to be open to all, and placed this image at the end…

I skimmed past this in my last blog, and I wanted to touch on it again. Today, we have many copyright laws, and it’s almost impossible to create anything with music or pictures without having to pay money. When someone creates something, they can use a creative commons licence that allows people the ability to use their content without paying. According to the creators terms first.

Something that is open sourced, would often use a creative commons licence. Do you?

Until next time,
