On the first day of the icommons summit, there was a moving moment during Lessigs speech. At the end, he announced that he would leave all the boards he was on (FSF, etc, see Markus’ post as well), and will only stay with creative commons. He said he dedicated 10 years of his life into fighting for a better copyright system and into creative commons, now it would be time to move on. He does not want to be a kind of “leader” of the free culture movement anymore, it would be time for others to continue. People stood up, clapping their hands, paying respect. It was moving.
I took this picture during his speech. I think the message is quite nice. Did the effect with Gimp. (I love free software, but I really don’t like Gimp, I always go lost when I use it - this time I found this effect and simply left it.)
