Re: Frameworks as academic example

I would think that due to the topic of the book, he wonıt be making a lot of
money off of it, if hardly anything.
And I infer that you are using the term ³open source² in a manner to mean
something like ³creative commons,² or freely available to others to use.

But more to the point, (and I have not seen the book), it sounds like he
used the discussion as evidence within a topic of his. This is clearly Fair
Use, and a parallel (in my view) to quoting from someone elseıs book when
you are writing an essay or a book on that writing.

As the Frameworks discussions are all freely available online through
Flicker, they can be seen de facto as Open Source already. And Lucas is
under no obligation (not even ethical) to make his contextual writing on the
topic freely available. Unless you think that every book of film or art or
literature criticism that quotes from other sources should also be open
source. But one could of course write an essay or book quoting from Lucasıs
writing under the same Fair Use. So his writing (using short sections of it
in the context of a discussion on the topic) is in that way ³open source.²
