Comment on Copyright

I've put my posts under a Creative Commons license, as is clearly seen on the sidebar. I should probably attach that to every post .. but I'm challenged enough I'm not quite sure how. :D

I think, though, that my choice deserves an explanation, because I think it's important. Religion is free .. I cannot own it, nor can anyone. While one can copyright one's work (and ooh, I'd be ticked if someone took it!) the religion itself isn't mine. I'm just a messenger, a carrier. If it is to survive, other people will take up what I write and add to it, create from it .. and that's a GOOD thing. I do not want to stifle that. In fact, I'd HATE to stifle that, which is what current copyright law does.

So I encourage people reading .. come up with your own rituals, essays, beliefs, experiments. Let my work be an inspiration to your own. My only requirement is that you make your own work free for other people to use as well .. to find as inspiration to build off of. It's not open-source software .. it's open-source religion.

Let it go, and let it grow. Let's see where it leads us.
