It reformulates their principle while making it possible for the -public to make creative use of the works of art. Whereas current literary and -artistic property rights result in restriction of the public's access to works -of art, the goal of the Free Art License is to encourage such access. - -The intention is to make work accessible and to authorise the use of its -resources by the greatest number of people: to use it in order to increase its -use, to create new conditions for creation in order to multiply the -possibilities of creation, while respecting the originators in according them -recognition and defending their moral rights. - -In fact, with the arrival of the digital age, the invention of the Internet and -free software, a new approach to creation and production has made its -appearance. It also encourages a continuation of the process of experimentation -undertaken by many contemporary artists. - -Knowledge and creativity are resources which, to be true to themselves, must -remain free, i.e. remain a fundamental search which is not directly related to -a concrete application. Creating means discovering the unknown, means inventing -a reality without any heed to realism. Thus, the object(ive) of art is not -equivalent to the finished and defined art object. This is the basic aim of -this Free Art License: to promote and protect artistic practice freed from the -rules of the market economy. - -——– DEFINITIONS - -- The work of art : A communal work which includes the initial artwork as well - as all subsequent contributions (subsequent originals and copies). It is -created at the initiative of the original artist who, by this license, defines -the conditions according to which the contributions are made. - -- The original work of art : This is the artwork created by the initiator of - the communal work, of which copies will be modified by whosoever wishes. - -- Subsequent works : These are the additions put forward by the artists who - contribute to the formation of the work by taking advantage of the right to -reproduction, distribution and modification that this license confers on them. - -- The Original (the work's source or resource) : A dated example of the work, - of its definition, of its partition or of its program which the originator -provides as the reference for all future updatings, interpretations, copies or -reproductions. - -- Copy : Any reproduction of an original as defined by this license. - -- The author or the artist of the original work of art: This is the person who - created the work which is at the heart of the ramifications of this modified -work of art. By this license, the author determines the conditions under which -these modifications are made. - -- Contributor: Any person who contributes to the creation of the work of art. - He is the author or the artist of an original art object resulting from the -modification of a copy of the initial artwork or the modification of a copy of -a subsequent work of art. - -——– - -1. AIMS - -The aim of this license is to define the conditions according to which you can -use this work freely. - -2. EXTENT OF THE USAGE - -This work of art is subject to copyright, and the author, by this license, -specifies the extent to which you can copy, distribute and modify it. - -2.1 FREEDOM TO COPY (OR OF REPRODUCTION) - -You have the right to copy this work of art for your personal use, for your -friends or for any other person, by employing whatever technique you choose. - -2.2 FREEDOM TO DISTRIBUTE, TO INTERPRET (OR OF REPRESENTATION) - -You can freely distribute the copies of these works, modified or not, whatever -their medium, wherever you wish, for a fee or for free, if you observe all the -following conditions: -- attach this license, in its entirety, to the copies or indicate precisely - where the license can be found, -- specify to the recipient the name of the author of the originals, -- specify to the recipient where he will be able to access the originals - (original and subsequent). The author of the original may, if he wishes, give -you the right to broadcast/distribute the original under the same conditions as -the copies. - -2.3 FREEDOM TO MODIFY - -You have the right to modify the copies of the originals (original and -subsequent), partially or otherwise, respecting the conditions set out in -article 2.2 , in the event of distribution (or representation) of the modified -copy. The author of the original may, if he wishes, give you the right to -modify the original under the same conditions as the copies. - -3. INCORPORATION OF ARTWORK - -All the elements of this work of art must remain free, which is why you are not -allowed to integrate the originals (originals and subsequents) into another -work which would not be subject to this license. - -4. YOUR AUTHOR'S RIGHTS - -The object of this license is not to deny your author's rights on your -contribution. By choosing to contribute to the evolution of this work of art, -you only agree to give to others the same rights with regard to your -contribution as those which were granted to you by this license. - -5. DURATION OF THE LICENCE - -This license takes effect as of your acceptance of its provisions. The fact of -copying, distributing, or of modifying the work constitutes a tacit agreement. -This license will remain in force for as long as the copyright which is -attached to the work of art. If you do not respect the terms of this license, -you automatically lose the rights that it confers. If the legal status to which -you are subject makes it impossible for you to respect the terms of this -license, you may not make use of the rights which it confers. - -6.

It will no longer be possible for someone to appropriate your -work, short-circuiting the creative process to make personal profit from it. -Helping yourself to a collective work in progress will be forbidden, as will -monopolising the resources of an evolving creation for the benefit of a few. - -The Free Art License advocates an economy appropriate for art, based on -sharing, exchange and joyful giving. What counts in art is also and mostly what -is not counted. - -- When to use the Free Art License ? - -It is not the goal of the Free Art License to eliminate copyright or author's -rights. Quite the opposite, it is about reformulating the relevance of these -rights while taking today's environment into account. It is about the right to -freedom of movement, to free copying and to free transformation of works of -art. The right to work in freedom for art and artists. - -1 / Each time you want to use or put this right into practice, use the Free Art -License. - -2 / Each time you want to create works which can evolve and be freely copied, -freely distributed and freely transformed: use the Free Art License. - -3 / Each time you want to have the possibility of copying, distributing or -transforming a work: check that it is under Free Art License. If it is not, you -are liable to be breaking the law. - -- To which types of art can the Free Art License be applied? - -This license can be applied to digital as well as to non-digital art. It was -born out of observation of the world of free software and the Internet, but its -applicability is not limited to the digital media. You can put a painting, a -novel, a sculpture, a drawing, a piece of music, a poem, an installation, a -video, a film, a recipe, a CD-rom, a Web site, or a performance under the Free -Art License, in short any creation which has some claim to be a work of art. - -This license has a history: it was born at the meeting " Copyleft Attitude " -which took place at "Accès Local" and "Public" in Paris at the beginning of the -year 2000. For the first time, it brought computer specialists and freeware -activists together with contemporary artists and members of the art world. |
