Great article. The second article in this series is important as well.
Why binary kernel drives are a broken idea technically.
Weird. In a good way! The NY Times and John Markoff seems to have made an about-face in their representation of free software. Awesome
The most interesting part, I think, is that the porn industry is actively involved in copyright litigation. I have often held them up as an example of an industry who didn't have litigation as an option and, as a result, had to be more creative.

CC announces the 4.0 process for their new licenses. And it basically looks great. The one exception is the revaluation of the database stuff. The language about not making this works is wise and smart, but it's also going pretty hard to imagine how they could walk that line. The situation now is CC zero for data, or nothing. Anything CC does is going to make that situation worse.
Nice overview of the contributor agreement/copyright assignment discussion.
