We will be fine if we develop the universe with free high culture and the circumstances in which it is used with the technology in our lives. we can see that in ‘CC BY-SA’ we are free to share, remix or make commercial use of the work but under conditions.

Don’t create the universe – just link to it. : )

Here’s a non-technical explanation:
” ‘CC BY-SA’ means it’s a License where you can share or remix the stuff with anyone, as long as you acknowledge who created it and keep the same license on anything you create with it.”

I’ll see what I can do, though given the nature of the blog I’m not going to bother with “first, create the universe.” If you’re not a free culture native this issue is going to be meaningless anyway.

a few of the more tech savvy know what wikipedia is, and will infer that wikitravel is a wikipedia for travelers. but none of them will have a goddamn clue what a “collaborative travel guide under cc by-sa” means.
