Google fails "not to be evil" very often. But sometimes they seem to be in a good mood and do great stuff for a change:

Release + offer free (OFL not "freeware") fonts for use on your webpage for example.

Check out those great fonts!

This student documentary (3 parts about 25min) draws a clear picture of what todays problem with copyright is.

It features different artists and other involved people that explain, from their perspective what is going wrong - and why. If you're thinking about what the future of remixing art should be: watch this!

I'm a big fan of the OpenStreetMap project but I cannot say the same about its current logo. Every time I see it I feel like the great project is misrepresented by a bloated and indistinct clipart. I know that there must be some people that got attached to the current logo (in form of mugs, t-shirts or pure nostalgia), and hope they can share the notion that a new logo is overdue.

I've been working quite some time on a logo relaunch that is flexible and fits any brand relaunch the community might consider in the far or near future.

Here it is!

As you see it uses a free OFL-licensed font to allow easy customization and integration into further material.

Let's see what the community thinks about it - you decide.

Eben Moglen gave an impressive speech about "Freedom in the Cloud" (59min). He envisions a digital future that puts users in control and makes facebook and other social anti-privacy services obsolete. It is a realistic and bottom-up idea that needs to be carried out!

"We got to do it"

Don't be annoyed by the initial camera movement and have a look at other formats of the recording.

That's right there is a Humble Indie Bundle (for GNU/linux, Mac and PC)!

Giving away money for games was never more fun: You pay as much as you like and support the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and Childsplay along with the game developers.

But there is more! After the first and very successful week Aquaria, Gish, Lugaru and Penumbra pledge to release their games as free software!

A great win to the free software world - maybe inspired by the recent move of Ryzom.

Can you imagine a better gift for a friend?
