  • 5.4) BY ___
  • A) You must convey the same rights “downstream” that were conveyed to you by “upstream”.
  • B) You must attribute the contributions of the original or upstream creators of the work.
  • C) You may not use the work for commercial purposes.
  • D) You may not make changes to the work.

6) The presence of which license elements make a license “non-free” in the eyes of the FSF? (give the letters, 1 pt XC each)

7) Which license element is a copyleft? (give the letter, 1 pt XC)

*8) Name two projects which distribute a body of non-software, free culture data, and briefly name or describe the kind of data. (1 pt XC each)*

  • 8.1)
  • 8.2)
  1. We’ve discussed “the four R’s” as a shorthand for the freedoms

attached to software for it to be considered “free” or “open source”. List or describe each. (eg, if you can remember the “r” word you can just give that. If you cannot remember the term, but can describe the freedom involved, that also counts). Various “r” words are roughly synonymous for some of the freedoms, but we’re counting freedoms here, not synonyms so if you give two (or more) terms for the same freedom, it only counts once. For the purposes of this quiz, “remix” does not count as describing any of them. (2pt each)

  • 9.1) - 9.2) - 9.3) - 9.4)
