The Reformed Druids of North America typically redistribute their texts and archives freely. For example, the primary websites of the Druids have the two complete anthologies of Druid documents from 1963 to 1990 without any copyright notice. However, copyright is still implicit.
Rather than trying to secure all the various copyrights of these documents, I'm going to work on writing my own useful documents for free distribution, in the spirit of the FreeLore project.
Rather than relying on a normal Creative Commons license like Attribution or ShareAlike, I am making these texts completely free, like the King James Bible. I expect that waiving commercial rights on religious writing will have very little meaning in a world that is connected by the Internet. If the Internet ever goes down, it is in my interest to allow people to charge for or modify my religious writings in whatever form they want.
Most of this website is still licensed under BY-NC-SA because it's my personal opinion and writing, not part of the "commons" of scientific and religious knowledge.
When should you employ the Druid Freelore Pact?
- You want your text to be redistributed to anyone and everyone.
- You don't need any credit whatsoever.
- You're fine with other people making money off of your text or selling translation/revisions as their own work.
- You're fine with radical parodies, misinterpretation, and other revision.
