@jwildeboer We also need organizations/associations/foundations to set the definitions, just recently there was a news of a company calling their software open source, which was not, so people call it out and they could do it because there is a definition. If we compare FLOSS to Open Access, we see there is no foundation/organization/association and no specific license, this means we have different definitions of OA, the common characteristic being the gratis one (yes, it was a mistake). So we get these weird situations where we can have a OA paper (just gratis) where we can't do anything with it beyond fair use/exceptions (like a full copyright work) and a non-OA paper with a CC BY because it's being sold. Worse than that, we can have exactly the same paper bot OA and non-OA, for instance a CC BY that's being sold in a website and gratis in another. It's insane.
Of course, organizations must have elections and transparent decision processes to make them do the right thing.
Yes, let's refrain from creating heroes, but let's not kill organizations in the process. F/LOSS and F/LOSS culture (OA, CC, Public Domain) are always being attacked (because abundance), and without organizations we wouldn't stand a chance. 2/2

@jwildeboer I agree with your point on personification, but not on organizations. You took GPL to court because there was an organization that created the license, and you won because that organization maintains the license's legal text. I would say that unless you're a lawyer with lots of free time to check every jurisdiction in the world, it would be quite difficult for a single person to create a law enforceable license.
Some years ago, we had a law proposal that would make some changes in copyright law here in Portugal. Creative Commons had still local licenses and if the proposal was approved that could make the PT license invalid. Fortunately, we had someone from CC in Portugal that made the effort to update the legal text so even if the proposal was approved, the license would still be safe to use. It's not a small task. 1/2

@ronsboy67 @EllenInEdmonton @kimlockhartga @bookstodon adding: sometimes ISBNs are reused by the publishers for different books (not very common,but it happens), so when scanning see if it's the book you have.
I'm using librarything that has a scan the barcode option.

@forteller there's a mobile app that delivers books into parts of 20 minutes of reading a day #PublicDomain️
