Parent article: Who are the Hacker Bloggers? (Linux Journal)

The article does not try to provide a complete list, but in omitting Cory Doctorow it may have omitted the most vital open source hacker currently blogging. Cory is important as an open source hacker not only for generally championing open source code but also for showcasing how open source is about more than code ( especially in the areas of publishing practice and copyright ). And on the blogging side, no one gets the message out better.

I mention this not because I'm worried about Cory getting his props, but because we've reached the point where a discussion of hacker bloggers really has to look beyond folks who roll code.

I have certainly enjoyed some of Cory's writings, but can you point to any of his work that is Free? Say with a CC BY or BY-SA license? The stuff I have seen carries the NC option.

While in the general vicinity, does anyone know of any publishers who are willing to publish works with a copyleft type license?

all the best,

Novel writing as performance art?
Hey, it might even be more exciting than watching paint dry.

Publishers are sooo 20th century. Instead, just print your book yourself (or pay someone to do it.) http://www.lulu.com/ No transfers of Copyright involved.
