Open Source Media
Monday, January 7th, 2008Just how open is open when it comes to free downloads and remixing? Matt Hanson from A Swarm of Angels has proposed a framework to help define the “openness” of a piece of work:
These are three proposed states for open media, each building on the next:
Open (O-):
The baseline, concerned with freely consuming and sharing the content
Open source (O):
Being able to view and remix the source files
Open Plus (O+):
The ability to participate in a transparent, documented process
