Green economics - non-living factors. A common characterization is that greens distinguish "factors from actors": Life versus not Indeed, what seems to define green economists most clearly is the rejection of all analyses of factors of production or means of production that fail to clearly and fundamentally distinguish between living (nature, persons)and non-living (financial, social, instructional, infrastructural) roles in a productive process. Some have detailed critiques of "Fordism" (after Henry Ford) and "productivism", as best developed by Alain Lipietz of the French Greens. They characterize the belief in such concepts as "economic growth" as a delusion, an ideology, and worse, as they disrupt and destroy ecological growth in life support capacity of a natural ecosystem: air and water filtering, food production, fiber growth. These often characterize their work as "social ecology" and may employ.
Free content - Free Documentation License (GFDL) are examples of copyleft licenses for free content; the FreeBSD Documentation License is an example of a non-copyleft license. The GFDL is the being used for the text of Wikipedia. Other examples of free content licenses are some of those published by Creative Commons, when commercial use is not restricted. See also: public domain.

Coase's Penguin - for those "who study organizations or make intellectual property policy", it is a first attempt to explore how intellectual property law might be reconsidered in light of the emergence of "commons-based peer-production", a new model of economic production. "Commons-based peer-production" is meant to describe a new model of economic production, different from both markets and firms, in which the creative energy of large numbers of people gets coordinated into large, meaningful projects, largely without financial compensation. All the examples mentioned are coordinated via the Internet; examples include Linux and this encyclopedia. Benkler's ultimate thesis is that some of the restrictions that copyright and patent law place on the free flow of information are preventing commons-based peer-production from reaching its full potential. Since this is such an effective form of knowledge production,.
Consensus decision-making - agreeable decision. The method tends to deemphasize the role of factions or parties and promote the expression of individual voices. The method also increases the likelihood of unforeseen or creative solutions by juxtaposing dissimilar ideas. Because it seeks to minimize objection, it is popular with voluntary organizations, wherein decisions are more likely to be carried out when they are most widely approved. Consensus methods are desirable when enforcement of the decision is unfeasible, such that every participant will be required to act on the decision independently. Minority views must be considered to a greater degree than in circumstances where a majority can take the action and enforce the decision without any further consultation with the minority voters. Since higher levels of consensus can require more time and effort to achieve, groups.
Culture of Quebec - Quebec as The Rest of Canada. Distinguishing features of Quebec culture are, historically speaking, its religious influence (specifically Roman Catholic), its rural roots, a love of winter and the sense of isolation as an island of French in a sea of North American English.

Public Library of Science - open-access scientific papers in the biological sciences in journals such as Genome Biology and the Journal of Biology since late 1999. As a publishing company, the Public Library of Science began full operation on October 13, 2003, with the publication of a peer reviewed print and online scientific journal, entitled PLoS Biology (there are plans for a followup journal PLoS Medicine). PLoS Biology is what they describe as "open access content", all content is published under the "Public Library of Science Open Access License", which is identical to the Creative Commons "by-attribution" license [1]. Lawrence Lessig, of Creative Commons is also a member of the Advisory Board. The project states that: "The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give.
October Open Game License - freedom that applied to FSF works also applied to their licenses. When the OOGL was modified by publishers with additional clauses protecting trademarks, on May 5, 2002, Richard Stallman requested that the RPG Library cease publication. The RPG Library refused, but eventually stopped supporting the OOGL through lack of interest. It has since been officially deprecated in favor of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License..
Open content - with open source, describes any kind of creative work (for example, articles, pictures, audio, video, etc.) that is published under a non-restrictive copyright license and format that explicitly allows the copying of the information. (An example is the GNU Free Documentation License, which is used by Wikipedia and Nupedia.) "Open content" is also sometimes used to describe content that can be modified by anyone. Of course, this is not without prior review by other participating parties--but there is no closed group like a commercial encyclopedia publisher which is responsible for all the editing. Just as open source software is sometimes described simply as Free Software (not to be confused with Freeware), open content materials can be more briefly described as free materials. But not every open content is free in the.

Open gaming - and that it could further channel the popularity of the RPG industry towards Dungeons & Dragons. Emergence from the Open Gaming License Several game designers criticized the Open Gaming License for not being as open as it could be and for being controlled by the RPG market leader Wizards of the Coast. Some of these critics wrote their own open licenses. Lately, drafting new open gaming licenses has waned slightly as it becomes apparent that numerous copyleft-style licenses that could be applied to game rules already exist, such as the GNU Free Documentation License. One open gaming license similar to the GFDL, the October Open Game License, has already been deprecated in favor of a Creative Commons License. Impact A number of mostly small game developers have since hopped on board.
Wikitravel - towards production of print-quality guides. The project uses MediaWiki, which is also used by the Wikipedia. It is built in collaboration by Wikitravellers from around the globe, and uses the Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike license [1] to keep the guide free. Wikitravel is a multilingual project, available in two languages: English and Romanian. There are also proposals for French and Estonian language versions. See also: CapitanCook.
Means of production - capital (according to Marx a delusion) and minus human capital or labor. When used in modern terms it usually applies to land or commons being converted to natural resources, and to that infrastructural capital which is not owned strictly in common but is applied to make "goods". The Marxist analysis does not distinguish between infrastructural and natural means of production, and seems to assume natural capital to be limitless. Karl Marx focused on labor questions: He considered it immoral to treat labor as just another "factor" in production, and in his analysis he chose the word "means" apparently to emphasize that labor actually acquires and applies the instructions and skills, and directly uses the tools and infrastructure - as the "proletariat". Raw human capital without these skills he termed the "lumpen.
