-Free Art License
-
-
-[ Copyleft Attitude ]
-
-version 1.2
-
-Preamble :
-
-With this Free Art License, you are authorised to copy, distribute and freely
-transform the work of art while respecting the rights of the originator.
-
-Far from ignoring the author's rights, this license recognises them and
-protects them. It reformulates their principle while making it possible for the
-public to make creative use of the works of art. Whereas current literary and
-artistic property rights result in restriction of the public's access to works
-of art, the goal of the Free Art License is to encourage such access.
-
-The intention is to make work accessible and to authorise the use of its
-resources by the greatest number of people: to use it in order to increase its
-use, to create new conditions for creation in order to multiply the
-possibilities of creation, while respecting the originators in according them
-recognition and defending their moral rights.
-
-In fact, with the arrival of the digital age, the invention of the Internet and
-free software, a new approach to creation and production has made its
-appearance. It also encourages a continuation of the process of experimentation
-undertaken by many contemporary artists.
-
-Knowledge and creativity are resources which, to be true to themselves, must
-remain free, i.e. remain a fundamental search which is not directly related to
-a concrete application. Creating means discovering the unknown, means inventing
-a reality without any heed to realism. Thus, the object(ive) of art is not
-equivalent to the finished and defined art object. This is the basic aim of
-this Free Art License: to promote and protect artistic practice freed from the
-rules of the market economy.
-
-——– DEFINITIONS
-
-- The work of art : A communal work which includes the initial artwork as well
- as all subsequent contributions (subsequent originals and copies). It is
-created at the initiative of the original artist who, by this license, defines
-the conditions according to which the contributions are made.
-
-- The original work of art : This is the artwork created by the initiator of
- the communal work, of which copies will be modified by whosoever wishes.
-
-- Subsequent works : These are the additions put forward by the artists who
- contribute to the formation of the work by taking advantage of the right to
-reproduction, distribution and modification that this license confers on them.
-
-- The Original (the work's source or resource) : A dated example of the work,
- of its definition, of its partition or of its program which the originator
-provides as the reference for all future updatings, interpretations, copies or
-reproductions.
-
-- Copy : Any reproduction of an original as defined by this license.
-
-- The author or the artist of the original work of art: This is the person who
- created the work which is at the heart of the ramifications of this modified
-work of art. By this license, the author determines the conditions under which
-these modifications are made.
-
-- Contributor: Any person who contributes to the creation of the work of art.
- He is the author or the artist of an original art object resulting from the
-modification of a copy of the initial artwork or the modification of a copy of
-a subsequent work of art.

-
-3. INCORPORATION OF ARTWORK
-
-All the elements of this work of art must remain free, which is why you are not

-contribution as those which were granted to you by this license.
-
-5. DURATION OF THE LICENCE
-
-This license takes effect as of your acceptance of its provisions. The fact of
-copying, distributing, or of modifying the work constitutes a tacit agreement.
-This license will remain in force for as long as the copyright which is
-attached to the work of art. If you do not respect the terms of this license,
-you automatically lose the rights that it confers. If the legal status to which
-you are subject makes it impossible for you to respect the terms of this
-license, you may not make use of the rights which it confers.
-
-6. VARIOUS VERSIONS OF THE LICENCE
-
-This license may undergo periodic modifications to incorporate improvements by
-its authors (instigators of the "copyleft attitude" movement) by way of new,
-numbered versions.
-

-under which the copy was communicated to you, or alternatively, to use the
-provisions of one of the subsequent versions.

-
-DIRECTIONS FOR USE :
-
-- How to use the Free Art license?
-
-To benefit from the Free Art License, it is enough to specify the following on
-your work of art:
-
-[- A few lines to indicate the name of the work and to give an idea of what it
-is.] [- A few lines to describe, if necessary, the modified work of art and
-give the name of the author/artist.] Copyright © [the date] [name of the author
-or artist] (if appropriate, specify the names of the previous authors or
-artists) Copyleft: this work of art is free, you can redistribute it and/or
-modify it according to terms of the Free Art license. You will find a specimen
-of this license on the site Copyleft Attitude http://artlibre.org as well as on
-other sites.
-
-- Why use the Free Art license?
-
-1 / to give the greatest number of people access to your work.
-
-2 / to allow it to be freely distributed.
-
-3 / to allow it to evolve by authorising its transformation by others.
-
-4 / to be able, yourself, to use the resources of a work when it is under Free
-Art license: to copy, distribute or transform it freely.
-
-5 / This is not all: because the use of the Free Art License is also a good way
-to take liberties with the marketing system generated by the dominant economy.
-The Free Art License offers a useful legal protocol to prevent abusive
-appropriation. It will no longer be possible for someone to appropriate your
-work, short-circuiting the creative process to make personal profit from it.
-Helping yourself to a collective work in progress will be forbidden, as will
-monopolising the resources of an evolving creation for the benefit of a few.
-
-The Free Art License advocates an economy appropriate for art, based on
-sharing, exchange and joyful giving. What counts in art is also and mostly what
-is not counted.
-
-- When to use the Free Art License ?
-
-It is not the goal of the Free Art License to eliminate copyright or author's
-rights. Quite the opposite, it is about reformulating the relevance of these
-rights while taking today's environment into account. It is about the right to
-freedom of movement, to free copying and to free transformation of works of
-art. The right to work in freedom for art and artists.
-
-1 / Each time you want to use or put this right into practice, use the Free Art
-License.
-
-2 / Each time you want to create works which can evolve and be freely copied,
-freely distributed and freely transformed: use the Free Art License.
-
-3 / Each time you want to have the possibility of copying, distributing or
-transforming a work: check that it is under Free Art License. If it is not, you
-are liable to be breaking the law.
-
-- To which types of art can the Free Art License be applied?
-
-This license can be applied to digital as well as to non-digital art. It was
-born out of observation of the world of free software and the Internet, but its
-applicability is not limited to the digital media. You can put a painting, a
-novel, a sculpture, a drawing, a piece of music, a poem, an installation, a
-video, a film, a recipe, a CD-rom, a Web site, or a performance under the Free
-Art License, in short any creation which has some claim to be a work of art.
-
-This license has a history: it was born at the meeting " Copyleft Attitude "
-which took place at "Accès Local" and "Public" in Paris at the beginning of the
-year 2000. For the first time, it brought computer specialists and freeware
-activists together with contemporary artists and members of the art world.
