I'm planning on writing an Open Source document.
Anyone can publish it. Anyone can add to it. An
open-source document is like open-source software.

I wish what I write on the subject to be
free and open-source. The way I protect THAT
is to copyright anything I write on the
subject. I can't copyright anything that
ISN'T mine. Open-source is a LICENSE. That
is, copyright is RESERVED, and rights to publish
are granted.

It's not so-called copyright. It IS copyright.
Whatever I write is copyright and if I want
to state that copyright I can.

Anything YOU write is your business. You may
copyright it, grant license with it, anything
you want.

At any rate, I will repost my email, with the
open-source LICENSE which will, among other
things, allow anyone to publish it.

I should have done that in the first place
but I figured that people on this list
understood enough about the open-source
movement to realize that I needed to reserve
copyright if I want to license the same
material using an open-source license.

I'll need a little time to get it, I was reading
an article on the license recently.
