I agree to multi-license my eligible text contributions, unless otherwise stated, under
Wikipedia's copyright terms and into the public domain. Please be aware that other contributors might not do the same, so if you want to use my contributions in the public domain, please check the
multi-licensing guide.
Nothing much to say.
I have the following biases:
My grandmother,
Elaine Morgan (writer) is a proponent of the Aquatic Ape Hypothesis, and I have a
webpage on the subject.
I am agnostic. By this I mean that while I feel all religions equally unlikely and their followers far too credulous, you cannot prove a negative conclusively: so the
FSM or
IPU may yet turn out to be truth. I am not hostile to other beliefs, though: my wife was
LDS when we married.
I once worked on
thudgame.com as the technical director.
I generally disapprove of Copyright law, and release as much of my work as I can on the public domain or
OSF-compatible
CC license. Thus, all original and attributed work by myself on Wikipedia is also jointly released to the public domain.
I disapprove of the
GPL and
FSF. I have written on this at some length:
[1] Particularly irksome are their abuse of the terms "Free" and "Rights".
I think most wars are criminally stupid.
I believe that, in the vast majority of
Holy war arguments, both options are crap. I generally prefer whichever works best for me (Democracy, FireFox, BrEng spelling) but appreciate that no one solution will suit everyone, all the time. Because, the options all remain crap, whether it's OS or license or whatever. No I don't have better suggestions, but they're still crap.
