[Foundation-l] 2006-2011: Mexican, Argentinian, Brazilian governments distance themselves from freedomdefined 1.0

[Teofilo]

Mexico switched from PD to CC-BY-NC-ND in 2006 (1)
Argentina from CC-BY-SA to CC-BY-NC some time in 2009-2011 (2)
Brazil removed CC-BY-SA altogether from the culture ministry website
in early 2011, in a context where the ministry is planning to reform
the copyright law (3)

Are our definition and our practices around free culture attractive
enough for democratically elected governments ?

My view is that they aren't. They are unnecessarily dry, unhuman,
personality-rights-moral-rights aggressive,
uploader-unfriendly-downloader-friendly.
