Copyleft. From the E-Media Tidbits: A Group Weblog: Eva Domínguez on a “copyleft” approach to intellectual property:

The free newspaper 20 minutos, which has editions in Madrid and Barcelona, yesterday (November 9) launched its website. The site will not only be free to read, but also free to copy. The site has created its own license to allow anyone to copy, distribute, reproduce, or adapt its content without asking for permission. The requirement to do so is to always mention the source and origin of the content. The license has been inspired by Michael Stutz’s Design Science License, based on a “Copyleft” idea. The managers of the site think that traditional laws for intellectual ownership are old-fashioned and want to adopt an “open source” style for media.
