The "World's Largest Ball of Saved Twine
Bits" approach doesn't tell me
much.
If you take something from elsewhere, why not attribute? If you made
something yourself, why not tell me it's unique?
I have some harsh words for that, but they do fit on this subject:
Information is free.
I have many articles that turned around the world. Most of then doesn't
have my name anymore. Some sites just copied, ipsis leteris. Some sites
changed my name to Alex or Al. Some said I allowed them to publish on their
sites. And some are credited to another name.
But who cares?
I did many scans, published original circuits, many how-tos, thousands
of photos and things maybe never seen. They are around the world. And so
what? My objective was to make information free, to amuse people with new
things and everyone get happy. Do you think someone will make a list like:
file.pdf 102941 bytes copied from bitsavers
file2.pdf 102384 bytes copied from sellam ismail
file3.pdf 10938 bytes copied from
msx.org who copied from
speccy.org
who copied from tabajara labs
Hey people, why do you do the work? For personal promotion or to help
people like you who needed this info sometime and didn't found it?
Be cool...All my info is free and you can copy it however you want.
Thanks if you keep my name near it. Thanks if not, but you spreaded the
information for free.
Wanna see me mad? Charge ANYTHING for my free info. You'll have a very
mad man looking for you
