Transparency, openness, honesty and love are values and virtues of the future
The open source paradigm is a driving force behind (software) development for many years now. It brings together the best developers and produced marvels of modern technology.
Open and equitable world is a natural continuation of the open approach to your work and life.
It's all about contributing and sharing. It goes from open source to open data and onward and upward.
It's not about how you hide it and sell it. It's about how you receive it from others, enhance it and share it further.
Creative Commons 0
CC0 is a huge leap for some yet natural for many of us.
It goes from "All rights reserved" to "No rights reserved".
(Source)
Quoting the CC website:
C0 enables scientists, educators, artists and other creators and owners of copyright- or database-protected content to waive those interests in their works and thereby place them as completely as possible in the public domain, so that others may freely build upon, enhance and reuse the works for any purposes without restriction under copyright or database law.
Please, read the examples at the website above and follow them.
The first step is to apply CC0 to your articles here at Steem.
It is easy with the code provided:. Enter the data and generate the code.
<p xmlns:dct="http://purl.org/dc/terms/" xmlns:vcard="http://www.w3.org/2001/vcard-rdf/3.0#">
<a rel="license"
href="http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/">
<img src="http://i.creativecommons.org/p/zero/1.0/88x31.png" style="border-style: none;" alt="CC0" />
</a>
<br />
To the extent possible under law,
<a rel="dct:publisher"
href="http://busy.org/@ervin-lemark">
<span property="dct:title">Ervin Lemark</span></a>
has waived all copyright and related or neighboring rights to
<span property="dct:title">Steem publications</span>.
This work is published from:
<span property="vcard:Country" datatype="dct:ISO3166"
content="SI" about="http://busy.org/@ervin-lemark">
Slovenia</span>.
</p>
The code in action
To the extent possible under law,
Ervin Lemark
has waived all copyright and related or neighboring rights to
Steem publications.
This work is published from:
Slovenia.
Of course, you can polish the looks of the code above yet the basic functionality is there. Your message that you apply CC0 to your works is sent to the Universe.
The next step could be adding this code to your footer and using it with every post. The added bonus is that the code contains the link to the page of your choice. In the example above, to my Steem profile page on Busy.org.
This way you promote both CC0 and Steem.
You can also apply #cc0 tag to your posts when you decide so.
While I was looking for the code above I also joined the CC community.
Do the same and share of love of open everything.
This article started as an invitation to use CC0 code in your posts. During writing it git turned upside down and the values, promoted in it became the main actors. CC0 is then just one of the aspect of living these values and demonstrating them in your work.
Honesty is going to take you places in life that you never could have dreamed and it’s the easiest thing you can practice in order to be happy, successful and fulfilled. Honesty is part of the foundation of my core values and principles. Honesty cuts through deception and knifes its way through deceit and lies. Honesty leads to a fulfilling, free life.
Honesty is not just about telling the truth. It’s about being real with yourself and others about who you are, what you want and what you need to live your most authentic life. Honesty promotes openness, empowers us and enables us to develop consistency in how we present the facts. Honesty sharpens our perception and allows us to observe everything around us with clarity.
The Tangled Web We Weave
The opposite of honesty is deception — or lying. Lying is equally bad whether you are deceiving others or yourself. When you lie, you delude yourself into believing what you’re saying. You start digging a hypothetical ditch, even if with an infant-sized spoon, that will keep getting bigger over time. You confuse yourself, confuse others, lose credibility and put yourself in harm.
The worst type of lying we practice, in order to deceive, is when we lie to ourselves. We start messing around with our concept of morality, right and wrong, as well as our dreams and desires. Times that I lied in order to do something that I knew was wrong, I could feel it. My inner core warred and rebelled against what I was mentally committing to doing because it was in contrast to who I really am.
When I look back on it, every time I lied (that I can recall) I was trying to excuse or misrepresent my own shortcomings or to compensate for something. I was trying to pursue a sinful desire that would only, at best, produce temporary pleasure. Lies I told were often due to a lack of effort, positive morals or thoughts.
Thank you very much for your lengthy reply. Much longer, more personal and in-depth than my post 😀
Yes, you are 1000% correct, of course. Truth resonates with your soul while lying and dishonesty breaks the harmony and leads to the damage. Physical and emotional. Within your and around you.
All the best, stay strong, stay true to yourself. Thank you again.
