I have a much bigger mouth about free culture and copyright reform lately, which requires that a bigger amount of metaphorical money be put where it is.

I’ve loosened the Creative Commons license on Anacrusis. It was previously Attribution-Noncommercial-NoDerivs, or basically “rip but don’t sample.” I’m pretty big on sampling, so it only makes sense that I should allow it of my own work, musical or not. Anacrusis is now under an Attribution-Sharealike license, or “rip, sample, mash, share, sell, as long as you say the same thing about the results.” (So is NFD, for the record.)

This will probably make very little difference for anyone else–I believe the Anacrusis fanfic community is fairly small–but it’s a difficult and powerful step for me. They’re not just my characters anymore, but then they never were, really. I took the pieces of them from the world and put them together, and now I’m putting them back.
