  14                 <description>&lt;p&gt;People keep asking me where to get the various forms of the book I
  15 published last week, the Norwegian Bokmål edition of Lawrence Lessigs
  16 book Free Culture.  It was published on paper via lulu.com, and is
  17 also available in PDF, ePub and MOBI format.  I currently sell the
  18 paper edition for self cost from lulu.com, but might extend the
  19 distribution to book stores like Amazon and Barnes &amp; Noble later.
  20 This will double the price and force me to make a profit from selling
  21 the book.  Anyway, here are links to get the book in different
  22 formats:&lt;/p&gt;

  40 &lt;p&gt;Note that the MOBI version have problems with the table of content,

  44 to display fine in the viewers I have tested.  All the files needed to

  65                 <description>&lt;p&gt;Like før kl. 11 i dag leverte jeg fem esker med gaveinnpakkede
  66 bøker til Stortinget, for utdeling til alle stortingsrepresentanter.
  67 Det ble etterfulgt av følgende pressemelding.  Stor takk til NUUG for
  68 lån av epostliste for å sende ut pressemeldingen.&lt;/p&gt;
  69
  70 &lt;blockquote&gt;
  71
  72 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Er opphavsretten for streng, spør ny bok&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  73
  74 &lt;p&gt;I dag kommer boken «&lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Fri
  75 kultur&lt;/a&gt;» av Lawrence Lessig ut på norsk.  Boken handler om
  76 utviklingen og utvidelsene opphavsretten har hatt de siste 40 årene.
  77 Boken er i dag gitt i gave til alle stortingsrepresentantene.
  78 Oversetter og utgiver Petter Reinholdtsen håper Stortinget vil tenke
  79 seg om to ganger neste gang det er snakk om utvidelse av
  80 opphavsretten.&lt;/p&gt;
  81
  82 &lt;p&gt;Boken forteller om hvordan store medieaktører ved hjelp av
  83 opphavsretten bruker teknologi til å begrense kulturen og kontrollere
  84 kreativiteten.  Den er skrevet av stifteren av
  85 &lt;a href=&quot;https://creativecommons.org/&quot;&gt;Creative Commons&lt;/a&gt;, professor
  86 Lawrence Lessig, som for tiden er med i kampen om å bli Demokratenes
  87 &lt;a href=&quot;https://lessig2016.us/&quot;&gt;presidentkandidat i USA sitt
  88 presidentvalg i 2016&lt;/a&gt;.  Lessig ble sist omtalt i norske medier da
  89 NRK i høst viste dokumentaren «Kampen for et demokratisk internett»
  90 som også er
  91 &lt;a href=&quot;https://archive.org/details/TheInternetsOwnBoyTheStoryOfAaronSwartz&quot;&gt;tilgjengelig
  92 fra The Internet Archive&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  93
  94 &lt;p&gt;Boken beskriver hvordan opphavsrettens makt i USA har blitt
  95 betydelig utvidet etter 1974 langs fem kritiske akser: varighet (fra
  96 32 til 95 år), omfang (fra utgivere til alle), rekkevidde (gjelder nå
  97 enhver fremvisning via datamaskin), kontroll (avledede verk er
  98 definert så bredt at i praksis alle nye åndsverk risikerer søksmål fra
  99 en opphavsrettsinnehaver) og til sist maktkonsentrasjon og integrering
 100 av mediebransjen.  Den dokumenterer også hvordan medieindustrien har
 101 lyktes med å bruke rettsvesenet til å begrense konkurranse, og i
 102 praksis har skaffet seg vetorett over teknologiske nyvinninger.
 103 Nedlasting av fritt, lovlig og i utgangspunktet gratis materiale
 104 stoppes med tekniske sperrer og lobbyert lovvern av sperrene.&lt;/p&gt;
 105
 106 &lt;p&gt;Utvidelsene illustreres i boken med ulike eksempler.  For eksempel
 107 en demonstrasjon av at Walt Disney ville ha blitt ansett som en
 108 opphavsrettspirat dersom han gjorde i dag det han gjorde på
 109 1930-tallet.  Boken beskriver hvordan vern av åndsverk er bra, men at
 110 mer vern ikke nødvendigvis er bedre.&lt;?p&gt;
 111
 112 &lt;p&gt;Petter Reinholdtsen, som sammen med flere frivillige har oversatt
 113 boken på fritiden de siste 3 årene, håper at boken vil gjøre en
 114 forskjell.  «Når en vet hvordan opphavsrettens varighet i Norge, uten
 115 opposisjon på Stortinget, ble utvidet nok en gang i mai i fjor, og
 116 hvordan Norges handelspartner USA gjennom de nye handelsavtalene
 117 Trans-Pacific Partnership og Transatlantic Trade and Investment
 118 Partnership
 119 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/final-leaked-tpp-text-all-we-feared&quot;&gt;ønsker
 120 å utvide opphavsrettens makt også i andre land&lt;/a&gt;, håper jeg at flere
 121 vil spørre: Er det virkelig fornuftig å gjøre de samme utvidelsene i
 122 Norge?», spør han.  «Jeg håper boken kan bidra til kunnskap og
 123 forståelse, og kan gi Stortinget et bedre grunnlag til å ta riktige
 124 beslutninger som ivaretar befolkningens og samfunnets interesser i
 125 Norge.»&lt;/p&gt;
 126
 127 &lt;p&gt;Petter Reinholdtsen er en mangeårig fri programvareutvikler som har
 128 vært med på å lage systemer som operativsystemet Debian, IT-løsningen
 129 Skolelinux, borgerportalen FiksGataMi og innsynstjenesten Mimes brønn.
 130 Han forteller han selv har opplevd problemene utvidet varighet,
 131 omfang, rekkevidde og kontroll i opphavsretten medfører og at boken
 132 var en oppvekker.  «Jeg håper andre finner boken like interessant som
 133 jeg gjorde.  Boken kan
 134 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;lastes
 135 gratis ned fra github&lt;/a&gt; eller
 136 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/fri-kultur/paperback/product-22406445.html&quot;&gt;kjøpes
 137 på papir fra lulu.com&lt;/a&gt;,» avslutter Reinholdtsen.&lt;/p&gt;
 138
 139 &lt;/blockquote&gt;
 140
 141 &lt;p&gt;Så får vi se om det har noen positiv effekt. :)&lt;/p&gt;

 150                 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/fri-kultur/paperback/product-22406445.html&quot;&gt;Klikk her for å kjøpe boken&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
 151
 152 &lt;p&gt;I 2004, mens &lt;a href=&quot;https://creativecommons.org/&quot;&gt;Creative
 153 Commons-bevegelsen&lt;/a&gt; vokste frem, skrev bevegelsens stifter Lawrence
 154 Lessig boken
 155 &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Culture_(book)&quot;&gt;Free
 156 Culture&lt;/a&gt; for å forklare problemene med økene åndsverksregulering og
 157 for å foreslå noen løsninger.  Jeg leste boken den gangen, og den både
 158 inspirerte meg og endret på hvordan jeg så på opphavsrettslovigving.
 159 Jeg skulle ønske flere folk leste denne boken.  Den gir en god
 160 gjennomgang av hvordan økende åndsverksregulering skader både
 161 nyskapning og kulturlivet, og skisserer hvordan både lovgivere og oss
 162 vanlige borgere kan bidra for å få slutt på dette.&lt;/p&gt;
 163
 164 &lt;p&gt;Derfor bestemte jeg meg sommeren 2012 for å oversette den til norsk
 165 bokmål og gjøre den tilgjengelig for de blant mine venner og familie
 166 som foretrekker å lese bøker på norsk.  Jeg oversatte boken ved hjelp
 167 av docbook og en gettext PO-fil, og endte opp med to utgaver, en på
 168 norsk og en på engelsk.  Den engelske publiserte jeg i forrige uke, og
 169 den norske utgaven på papir
 170 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/fri-kultur/paperback/product-22406445.html&quot;&gt;er
 171 nå klar for salg&lt;/a&gt;.  Jeg fikk heldigvis hjelp med oversetting og
 172 korrekturlesing av den norske utgaven fra en rekke frivillige.  Se
 173 side 245 for en komplett liste.  Slik ser omslaget ut:
 174
 175 &lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/fri-kultur/paperback/product-22406445.html&quot;&gt;&lt;img align=&quot;center&quot; src=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2015-10-28-free-culture-norwegian-published-cover.png&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 176
 177 &lt;p&gt;I tillegg til den norske og engelske utgaven holder vi på med en
 178 fransk utgave.  Den koordineres av dblatex-utvikleren Benoît Guillon,
 179 og oversettelsen var komplett denne uka men må korrekturleses før den
 180 kan gis ut.  Flere frivillige trengs her, så ta kontakt med Benoît
 181 hvis du vil bidra.&lt;/p&gt;
 182
 183 &lt;p&gt;Boken er også tilgjengelig i PDF, ePub og MOBI-format fra
 184 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;min
 185 github-prosjektside&lt;/a&gt;.  Merk at ePub og MOBI-utgavene har noen
 186 formatteringsproblemer som jeg tror kommer av feil i docbook-verktøyet
 187 dbtoepub (Debian BTS-rapporter
 188 &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=795842&quot;&gt;#795842&lt;/a&gt;
 189 og
 190 &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=796871&quot;&gt;#796871&lt;/a&gt;),
 191 men jeg har ikke tatt meg tid til å undersøke problemene.  For de som
 192 vil ha elektronisk kopi anbefaler jeg å bruke PDF- og ePub-utgaven i
 193 denne omgang, da de ser ut til å hånderes bra av de fremviserne jeg
 194 har tilgjengelig.&lt;/p&gt;
 195
 196 &lt;p&gt;Etter at oversettelsen til bokmål var ferdig klarte jeg å overtale
 197 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuugfoundation.no/&quot;&gt;NUUG Foundation&lt;/a&gt; til å
 198 sponse trykking av boken.  Det er årsaken til at stiftelsens logo er
 199 på baksiden av omslaget.  Jeg er svært takknemlig for dette, og bruker
 200 bidraget til å gi en kopi av den norske utgaven til alle
 201 Stortingsrepresentanter og andre beslutningstakere her i Norge.&lt;/p&gt;

 211 here to buy the book&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
 212
 213 &lt;p&gt;In 2004, as the &lt;a href=&quot;https://creativecommons.org/&quot;&gt;Creative Commons
 214 movement&lt;/a&gt; gained momentum, its creator Lawrence Lessig wrote the
 215 book &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Culture_(book)&quot;&gt;Free
 216 Culture&lt;/a&gt; to explain the problems with increasing copyright
 217 regulation and suggest some solutions.  I read the book back then and
 218 was very moved by it.  Reading the book inspired me and changed the
 219 way I looked on copyright law, and I would love it if more people
 220 would read it too.&lt;/p&gt;
 221
 222 &lt;p&gt;Because of this, I decided in the summer of 2012 to translate it to
 223 Norwegian Bokmål and publish it for those of my friends and family
 224 that prefer to read books in Norwegian.  I translated the book using
 225 docbook and a gettext PO file, and a byproduct of this process is a
 226 new edition of the English original.  I&#39;ve been in touch with the
 227 author during by work, and he said it was fine with him if I also
 228 published an English version.  So I decided to do so.  Today, I made
 229 this edition
 230 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/free-culture/paperback/product-22402863.html&quot;&gt;available
 231 for sale on Lulu.com&lt;/a&gt;, for those interested in a paper book.  This
 232 is the cover:
 233
 234 &lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/free-culture/paperback/product-22402863.html&quot;&gt;&lt;img align=&quot;center&quot; src=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2015-10-23-free-culture-english-published-cover.png&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 235
 236 &lt;p&gt;The Norwegian Bokmål version will be available for purchase in a
 237 few days.  I also plan to publish a French version in a few weeks or
 238 months, depending on the amount of people with knowledge of French to
 239 join the translation project.  So far there is only one active
 240 person, but the French book is almost completely translated but
 241 need some proof reading.&lt;/p&gt;
 242
 243 &lt;p&gt;The book is also available in PDF, ePub and MOBI formats from
 244 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;my
 245 github project page&lt;/a&gt;.  Note the ePub and MOBI versions have some
 246 formatting problems I believe is due to bugs in the docbook tool
 247 dbtoepub (Debian BTS issues
 248 &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=795842&quot;&gt;#795842&lt;/a&gt;
 249 and
 250 &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=796871&quot;&gt;#796871&lt;/a&gt;),
 251 but I have not taken the time to investigate.  I recommend the PDF and
 252 ePub version for now, as they seem to show up fine in the viewers I
 253 have available.&lt;/p&gt;
 254
 255 &lt;p&gt;After the translation to Norwegian Bokmål was complete, I was able
 256 to secure some sponsoring from
 257 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuugfoundation.no/&quot;&gt;the NUUG Foundation&lt;/a&gt; to
 258 print the book.  This is the reason their logo is located on the back
 259 cover. I am very grateful for their contribution, and will use it to
 260 give a copy of the Norwegian edition to members of the Norwegian
 261 Parliament and other decision makers here in Norway.&lt;/p&gt;

 270                 <description>&lt;p&gt;As I wrap up the Norwegian version of
 271 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;Free
 272 Culture&lt;/a&gt; book by Lawrence Lessig (still waiting for my final proof
 273 reading copy to arrive in the mail), my great
 274 &lt;a href=&quot;http://dblatex.sourceforge.net/&quot;&gt;dblatex&lt;/a&gt; helper and
 275 developer of the dblatex docbook processor, Benoît Guillon, decided a
 276 to try to create a French version of the book.  He started with the
 277 French translation available from the
 278 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wikilivres.ca/wiki/Culture_libre&quot;&gt;Wikilivres wiki
 279 pages&lt;/a&gt;, and wrote a program to convert it into a PO file, allowing
 280 the translation to be integrated into the po4a based framework I use
 281 to create the Norwegian translation from the English edition.  We meet
 282 on the &lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.freenode.net/%23dblatex&quot;&gt;#dblatex IRC
 283 channel&lt;/a&gt; to discuss the work.  If you want to help create a French
 284 edition, check out
 285 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/marsgui/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;his git
 286 repository&lt;/a&gt; and join us on IRC.  If the French edition look good,
 287 we might publish it as a paper book on lulu.com.  A French version of
 288 the drawings and the cover need to be provided for this to happen.&lt;/p&gt;

 297                 <description>&lt;p&gt;Creating a good looking book cover proved harder than I expected.
 298 I wanted to create a cover looking similar to the original cover of
 299 the
 300 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;Free
 301 Culture&lt;/a&gt; book we are translating to Norwegian, and I wanted it in
 302 vector format for high resolution printing.  But my inkscape knowledge
 303 were not nearly good enough to pull that off.
 304
 305 &lt;p&gt;But thanks to the great inkscape community, I was able to wrap up
 306 the cover yesterday evening.  I asked on the
 307 &lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.freenode.net/%23inkscape&quot;&gt;#inkscape IRC channel&lt;/a&gt;
 308 on Freenode for help and clues, and Marc Jeanmougin (Mc-) volunteered
 309 to try to recreate it based on the PDF of the cover from the HTML
 310 version.  Not only did he create a
 311 &lt;a href=&quot;https://marc.jeanmougin.fr/share/copy1.svg &quot;&gt;SVG document with
 312 the original and his vector version side by side&lt;/a&gt;, he even provided
 313 an &lt;a href=&quot;https://marc.jeanmougin.fr/share/out-1.ogv&quot;&gt;instruction
 314 video&lt;/a&gt; explaining how he did it&lt;/a&gt;.  But the instruction video is
 315 not easy to follow for an untrained inkscape user. The video is a
 316 recording on how he did it, and he is obviously very experienced as
 317 the menu selections are very quick and he mentioned on IRC that he did
 318 use some keyboard shortcuts that can&#39;t be seen on the video, but it
 319 give a good idea about the inkscape operations to use to create the
 320 stripes with the embossed copyright sign in the center.&lt;/p&gt;
 321
 322 &lt;p&gt;I took his SVG file, copied the vector image and re-sized it to fit
 323 on the cover I was drawing.  I am happy with the end result, and the
 324 current english version look like this:&lt;/p&gt;
 325
 326 &lt;img src=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2015-09-03-free-culture-cover.png&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;/&gt;
 327
 328 &lt;p&gt;I am not quite sure about the text on the back, but guess it will
 329 do.  I picked three quotes from the official site for the book, and
 330 hope it will work to trigger the interest of potential readers.  The
 331 Norwegian cover will look the same, but with the texts and bar code
 332 replaced with the Norwegian version.&lt;/p&gt;
 333
 334 &lt;p&gt;The book is very close to being ready for publication, and I expect
 335 to upload the final draft to Lulu in the next few days and order a
 336 final proof reading copy to verify that everything look like it should
 337 before allowing everyone to order their own copy of Free Culture, in
 338 English or Norwegian Bokmål.  I&#39;m waiting to give the the productive
 339 proof readers a chance to complete their work.&lt;/p&gt;

 348                 <description>&lt;p&gt;Today, finally, my first printed draft edition of the Norwegian
 349 translation of Free Culture I have been working on for the last few
 350 years arrived in the mail.  I had to fake a cover to get the interior
 351 printed, and the exterior of the book look awful, but that is
 352 irrelevant at this point.  I asked for a printed pocket book version
 353 to get an idea about the font sizes and paper format as well as how
 354 good the figures and images look in print, but also to test what the
 355 pocket book version would look like.  After receiving the 500 page
 356 pocket book, it became obvious to me that that pocket book size is too
 357 small for this book.  I believe the book is too thick, and several
 358 tables and figures do not look good in the size they get with that
 359 small page sizes.  I believe I will go with the 5.5x8.5 inch size
 360 instead.  A surprise discovery from the paper version was how bad the
 361 URLs look in print.  They are very hard to read in the colophon page.
 362 The URLs are red in the PDF, but light gray on paper.  I need to
 363 change the color of links somehow to look better.  But there is a
 364 printed book in my hand, and it feels great. :)&lt;/p&gt;
 365
 366 &lt;p&gt;Now I only need to fix the cover, wrap up the postscript with the
 367 store behind the book, and collect the last corrections from the proof
 368 readers before the book is ready for proper printing.  Cover artists
 369 willing to work for free and create a Creative Commons licensed vector
 370 file looking similar to the original is most welcome, as my skills as
 371 a graphics designer are mostly missing.&lt;/p&gt;

 380                 <description>&lt;p&gt;Typesetting a book is harder than I hoped.  As the translation is
 381 mostly done, and a volunteer proof reader was going to check the text
 382 on paper, it was time this summer to focus on formatting my translated
 383 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.docbook.org/&quot;&gt;docbook&lt;/a&gt; based version of the
 384 &lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt; book by Lawrence
 385 Lessig.  I&#39;ve been trying to get both docboox-xsl+fop and dblatex to
 386 give me a good looking PDF, but in the end I went with dblatex, because
 387 its Debian maintainer and upstream developer were responsive and very
 388 helpful in solving my formatting challenges.&lt;/p&gt;
 389
 390 &lt;p&gt;Last night, I finally managed to create a PDF that no longer made
 391 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lulu.com/&quot;&gt;Lulu.com&lt;/a&gt; complain after uploading,
 392 and I ordered a text version of the book on paper.  It is lacking a
 393 proper book cover and is not tagged with the correct ISBN number, but
 394 should give me an idea what the finished book will look like.&lt;/p&gt;
 395
 396 &lt;p&gt;Instead of using Lulu, I did consider printing the book using
 397 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.createspace.com/&quot;&gt;CreateSpace&lt;/a&gt;, but ended up
 398 using Lulu because it had smaller book size options (CreateSpace seem
 399 to lack pocket book with extended distribution).  I looked for a
 400 similar service in Norway, but have not seen anything so far.  Please
 401 let me know if I am missing out on something here.&lt;/p&gt;
 402
 403 &lt;p&gt;But I still struggle to decide the book size.  Should I go for
 404 pocket book (4.25x6.875 inches / 10.8x17.5 cm) with 556 pages, Digest
 405 (5.5x8.5 inches / 14x21.6 cm) with 323 pages or US Trade (6x8 inches /
 406 15.3x22.9 cm) with 280 pages?  Fewer pager give a cheaper book, and a
 407 smaller book is easier to carry around.  The test book I ordered was
 408 pocket book sized, to give me an idea how well that fit in my hand,
 409 but I suspect I will end up using a digest sized book in the end to
 410 bring the prize down further.&lt;/p&gt;
 411
 412 &lt;p&gt;My biggest challenge at the moment is making nice cover art.  My
 413 inkscape skills are not yet up to the task of replicating the original
 414 cover in SVG format.  I also need to figure out what to write about
 415 the book on the back (will most likely use the same text as the
 416 description on web based book stores).  I would love help with this,
 417 if you are willing to license the art source and final version using
 418 the same CC license as the book.  My artistic skills are not really up
 419 to the task.&lt;/p&gt;
 420
 421 &lt;p&gt;I plan to publish the book in both English and Norwegian and on
 422 paper, in PDF form as well as EPUB and MOBI format.  The current
 423 status can as usual be found on
 424 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;github&lt;/a&gt;
 425 in the archive/ directory.  So far I have spent all time on making the
 426 PDF version look good.  Someone should probably do the same with the
 427 dbtoepub generated e-book.  Help is definitely needed here, as I
 428 expect to run out of steem before I find time to improve the epub
 429 formatting.&lt;/p&gt;
 430
 431 &lt;p&gt;Please let me know via github if you find typos in the book or
 432 discover translations that should be improved.  The final proof
 433 reading is being done right now, and I expect to publish the finished
 434 result in a few months.&lt;/p&gt;

 442                 <pubDate>Thu, 16 Jul 2015 18:10:00 +0200</pubDate>
 443                 <description>&lt;p&gt;I&#39;m still working on the Norwegian version of the
 444 &lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture book by Lawrence
 445 Lessig&lt;/a&gt;, and is now working on the final typesetting and layout.
 446 One of the features I want to get the structure similar to the
 447 original book is to typeset the footnotes as endnotes in the notes
 448 chapter.  Based on the
 449 &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/685063&quot;&gt;feedback from the Debian
 450 maintainer and the dblatex developer&lt;/a&gt;, I came up with this recipe I
 451 would like to share with you.  The proposal was to create a new LaTeX
 452 class file and add the LaTeX code there, but this is not always
 453 practical, when I want to be able to replace the class using a make
 454 file variable.  So my proposal misuses the latex.begindocument XSL
 455 parameter value, to get a small fragment into the correct location in
 456 the generated LaTeX File.&lt;/p&gt;
 457
 458 &lt;p&gt;First, decide where in the DocBook document to place the endnotes,
 459 and add this text there:&lt;/p&gt;
 460
 461 &lt;pre&gt;
 462 &amp;lt;?latex \theendnotes ?&amp;gt;
 463 &lt;/pre&gt;
 464
 465 &lt;p&gt;Next, create a xsl stylesheet file dblatex-endnotes.xsl to add the
 466 code needed to add the endnote instructions in the preamble of the
 467 generated LaTeX document, with content like this:&lt;/p&gt;
 468
 469 &lt;pre&gt;
 470 &amp;lt;?xml version=&#39;1.0&#39;?&amp;gt;
 471 &amp;lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform&quot; version=&#39;1.0&#39;&amp;gt;
 472   &amp;lt;xsl:param name=&quot;latex.begindocument&quot;&amp;gt;
 473     &amp;lt;xsl:text&amp;gt;
 474 \usepackage{endnotes}
 475 \let\footnote=\endnote
 476 \def\enoteheading{\mbox{}\par\vskip-\baselineskip }
 477 \begin{document}
 478     &amp;lt;/xsl:text&amp;gt;
 479   &amp;lt;/xsl:param&amp;gt;
 480 &amp;lt;/xsl:stylesheet&amp;gt;
 481 &lt;/pre&gt;
 482
 483 &lt;p&gt;Finally, load this xsl file when running dblatex, for example like
 484 this:&lt;/p&gt;
 485
 486 &lt;pre&gt;
 487 dblatex --xsl-user=dblatex-endnotes.xsl freeculture.nb.xml
 488 &lt;/pre&gt;
 489
 490 &lt;p&gt;The end result can be seen on github, where
 491 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;my
 492 book project&lt;/a&gt; is located.&lt;/p&gt;

 501                 <description>&lt;p&gt;During eastern I had some time to continue working on the Norwegian
 502 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.docbook.org/&quot;&gt;docbook&lt;/a&gt; version of the 2004 book
 503 &lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt; by Lawrence Lessig.
 504 At the moment I am proof reading the finished text, looking for typos,
 505 inconsistent wordings and sentences that do not flow as they should.
 506 I&#39;m more than two thirds done with the text, and welcome others to
 507 check the text up to chapter 13.  The current status is available on the
 508 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;github&lt;/a&gt;

 525                 <pubDate>Fri, 12 Dec 2014 14:30:00 +0100</pubDate>
 526                 <description>&lt;p&gt;For noen dager siden
 527 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nb.no/Hva-skjer/Aktuelt/Nyheter/Tapt-filmskatt-fra-Disney-funnet-i-Nasjonalbiblioteket&quot;&gt;annonserte
 528 Nasjonalbiblioteket gladnyheten&lt;/a&gt; om at de i sine arkiver hadde
 529 funnet et nitratfilm-eksemplar av en 87 år gammel Disney-film ved navn
 530 Empty Socks, en film som tidligere var antatt tapt og der det i følge
 531 nyhetsmeldinger var kun ca. 25 sekunder bevart for ettertiden.
 532 Nasjonalbiblioteket hadde 5 minutter og 30 sekunder av filmen i sitt
 533 magasin.  Dette er flott for bevaringen av verdens kulturarv.  5,5
 534 minutter mindre tapt enn vi trodde av vår felles historie.&lt;/p&gt;
 535
 536 &lt;p&gt;Men hvordan kunne filmen gå tapt, når arkivlovene i USA krevde at
 537 publiserte filmer på den tiden ble deponert i bibliotek?  Forklaringen
 538 har jeg fra Lawrence Lessig og boken
 539 &lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt;, som jeg holder på
 540 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;å
 541 oversette til norsk&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
 542
 543 &lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
 544 &lt;p&gt;Dette er delvis på grunn av loven. Opphavsrettseiere var tidlig i
 545   amerikansk opphavsrettslov nødt til å deponere kopier av sine verk i
 546   biblioteker. Disse kopiene skulle både sikre spredning av kunnskap,
 547   og sikre at det fantes en kopi av verket tilgjengelig når vernetiden
 548   utløp, slik at andre kunne få tilgang til og kopiere verket.&lt;/p&gt;
 549
 550 &lt;p&gt;Disse reglene gjaldt også for filmer. Men i 1915 gjorde
 551   kongressbiblioteket et unntak for film. Filmer kunne bli
 552   opphavsrettsbeskyttet så lenge det ble gjort slik deponering. Men
 553   filmskaperne fikk så lov til å låne tilbake de deponerte filmene -
 554   så lenge de ville uten noe kostnad. Bare i 1915 var det mer enn 5475
 555   filmer deponert og “lånt tilbake”. Dermed var det ikke noe eksemplar
 556   i noe bibliotek når vernetiden til filmen utløp. Eksemplaret
 557   eksisterer - hvis den finnes i det hele tatt - i arkivbiblioteket
 558   til filmselskapet.&lt;/p&gt;
 559 &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 560
 561 &lt;p&gt;Nyheten gjorde meg nysgjerrig på om filmen kunne være falt i det
 562 fri.  En 87 år gammel film kunne jo tenkes å ha blitt en del av
 563 allemannseiet, slik at vi alle kan bruke den til å bygge videre på vår
 564 felles kultur uten å måtte be om tillatelse - slik Walt Disney gjorde
 565 det i starten av sin karriere.  Jeg spurte nasjonalbiblioteket, og de
 566 sa nei.  Hvordan kan det ha seg med en så gammel film?  Jeg besteme
 567 meg for å undersøke nærmere.  En kan finne informasjon om den norske
 568 vernetiden på
 569 &lt;a href=&quot;https://lovdata.no/dokument/NL/lov/1961-05-12-2&quot;&gt;Lovdata&lt;/a&gt;
 570 og &lt;/a&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/A&gt;.  Her er et relevant &lt;a
 571 href=&quot;https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opphavsrett#Vernetid&quot;&gt;utsnitt fra
 572 siden om opphavsrett i den norske Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
 573
 574 &lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
 575   Ifølge åndsverkloven §§ 40-41 utløper vernetiden for et åndsverk 70
 576   år etter utløpet av opphavspersonens dødsår.  [...]  For filmverk
 577   gjelder særlige regler: Her kommer ikke alle mulige opphavspersoner
 578   i betraktning, men kun hovedregissøren, manusforfatteren,
 579   dialogforfatteren og komponisten av filmmusikken. Vernetiden
 580   begynner å løpe etter utgangen av dødsåret til den lengstlevende av
 581   disse. [...] Der opphavspersonen er ukjent, utløper opphavsretten 70
 582   år etter første kjente offentliggjørelse av verket. Det er kun de
 583   økonomiske rettighetene som faller bort i det vernetiden er
 584   utløpt. De ideelle rettighetene må fortsatt respekteres, noe som
 585   blant annet innebærer at man plikter å navngi opphavspersonen ved
 586   tilgjengeliggjøring.

 611 jeg mistenker at tegnerne vil få opphavsrettigheter på tegnefilmer her
 612 i Norge, og tar derfor med disse.  Kameramannen vil ikke få noen
 613 rettigheter så vidt jeg forstår, og er derfor ignorert her.&lt;/p&gt;
 614
 615 &lt;p&gt;Slik jeg forstår den norske opphavsretten vil dermed dette
 616 filmverket bli allemannseie (også kalt å falle i det fri) i 2053, 126
 617 år etter at det ble utgitt.  Hvis kun regissørens rettigheter er
 618 relevante, vil det skje i 2037, 110 år etter at det ble utgitt.  Etter
 619 det vil enhver kunne dele det med alle de har lyst til, fremføre det
 620 offentlig eller klippe og lime i det for å lage sin egen film basert
 621 på det - helt uten å måtte spørre noen om lov.&lt;/p&gt;
 622
 623 &lt;p&gt;Måtte så Nasjonalbiblioteket spørre om lov før de kunne kopiere
 624 sitt nitrat-eksemplar over på mer varig format?  Nei, heldigvis.
 625 Åndsverklovens § 16 sier at arkiv, bibliotek, museer og undervisnings-
 626 og forskningsinstitusjoner har rett til å fremstille eksemplar av verk
 627 for konserverings- og sikringsformål og andre særskilte formål.&lt;/p&gt;

 636                 <description>&lt;p&gt;This summer I finally had time to continue working on the Norwegian
 637 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.docbook.org/&quot;&gt;docbook&lt;/a&gt; version of the 2004 book
 638 &lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt; by Lawrence Lessig,
 639 to get a Norwegian text explaining the problems with todays copyright
 640 law.  Yesterday, I finally completed translated the book text.  There
 641 are still some foot/end notes left to translate, the colophon page
 642 need to be rewritten, and a few words and phrases still need to be
 643 translated, but the Norwegian text is ready for the first proof
 644 reading. :) More spell checking is needed, and several illustrations
 645 need to be cleaned up.  The work stopped up because I had to give
 646 priority to other projects the last year, and the progress graph of
 647 the translation show this very well:&lt;/p&gt;

 669                 <pubDate>Fri, 2 Aug 2013 10:40:00 +0200</pubDate>
 670                 <description>&lt;p&gt;It has been a while since my last update.  Since last summer, I
 671 have worked on a Norwegian
 672 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.docbook.org/&quot;&gt;docbook&lt;/a&gt; version of the 2004 book
 673 &lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt; by Lawrence Lessig,
 674 to get a Norwegian text explaining the problems with the copyright
 675 law.  Yesterday, I finally broken the 90% mark, when counting the
 676 number of strings to translate.  Due to real life constraints, I have
 677 not had time to work on it since March, but when the summer broke out,
 678 I found time to work on it again.  Still lots of work left, but the
 679 first draft is nearing completion.  I created a graph to show the
 680 progress of the translation:&lt;/p&gt;
 681
 682 &lt;p&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;80%&quot; align=&quot;center&quot; src=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/raw/master/progress.png&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 683
 684 &lt;p&gt;When the first draft is done, the translated text need to be
 685 proof read, and the remaining formatting problems with images and SVG
 686 drawings need to be fixed.  There are probably also some index entries
 687 missing that need to be added.  This can be done by comparing the
 688 index entries listed in the SiSU version of the book, or comparing the
 689 English docbook version with the paper version.  Last, the colophon
 690 page with ISBN numbers etc need to be wrapped up before the release is
 691 done.  I should also figure out how to get correct Norwegian sorting
 692 of the index pages.  All docbook tools I have tried so far (xmlto,
 693 docbook-xsl, dblatex) get the order of symbols and the special
 694 Norwegian letters ÆØÅ wrong.&lt;/p&gt;
 695
 696 &lt;p&gt;There is still need for translators and people with docbook
 697 knowledge, to be able to get a good looking book (I still struggle
 698 with dblatex, xmlto and docbook-xsl) as well as to do the draft
 699 translation and proof reading.  And I would like the figures to be
 700 redrawn as SVGs to make it easy to translate them.  Any SVG master
 701 around?  There are also some legal terms that are unfamiliar to me.
 702 If you want to help, please get in touch with me, and check out the
 703 project files currently available from
 704 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;github&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
 705
 706 &lt;p&gt;If you are curious what the translated book currently look like,
 707 the updated
 708 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/blob/master/archive/freeculture.nb.pdf?raw=true&quot;&gt;PDF&lt;/a&gt;
 709 and
 710 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/blob/master/archive/freeculture.nb.epub?raw=true&quot;&gt;EPUB&lt;/a&gt;
 711 are published on github.  The HTML version is published as well, but
 712 github hand it out with MIME type text/plain, confusing browsers, so I
 713 saw no point in linking to that version.&lt;/p&gt;

 721                 <pubDate>Sun, 24 Mar 2013 17:30:00 +0100</pubDate>
 722                 <description>&lt;p&gt;A few days ago, during a discussion in
 723 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.efn.no/&quot;&gt;EFN&lt;/a&gt; about interesting books to read
 724 about copyright and the data retention directive, a suggestion to read
 725 the 1968 short story Kodémus by
 726 &lt;a href=&quot;http://web2.gyldendal.no/toraage/&quot;&gt;Tore Åge Bringsværd&lt;/a&gt;
 727 came up.  The text was only available in old paper books, and thus not
 728 easily available for current and future generations.  Some of the
 729 people participating in the discussion contacted the author, and
 730 reported back 2013-03-19 that the author was OK with releasing the
 731 short story using a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.creativecommons.org/&quot;&gt;Creative
 732 Commons&lt;/a&gt; license.  The text was quickly scanned and OCR-ed, and we
 733 were ready to start on the editing and typesetting.&lt;/p&gt;
 734
 735 &lt;p&gt;As I already had some experience formatting text in my project to
 736 provide a Norwegian version of the Free Culture book by Lawrence
 737 Lessig, I chipped in and set up a
 738 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.docbook.org/&quot;&gt;DocBook&lt;/a&gt; processing framework to
 739 generate PDF, HTML and EPUB version of the short story.  The tools to
 740 transform DocBook to different formats are already in my Linux
 741 distribution of choice, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.debian.org/&quot;&gt;Debian&lt;/a&gt;, so
 742 all I had to do was to use the
 743 &lt;a href=&quot;http://dblatex.sourceforge.net/&quot;&gt;dblatex&lt;/a&gt;,
 744 &lt;a href=&quot;http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/epub/README&quot;&gt;dbtoepub&lt;/a&gt;
 745 and &lt;a href=&quot;https://fedorahosted.org/xmlto/&quot;&gt;xmlto&lt;/a&gt; tools to do the
 746 conversion.  After a few days, we decided to replace dblatex with
 747 xsltproc/fop (aka
 748 &lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.docbook.org/DocBookXslStylesheets&quot;&gt;docbook-xsl&lt;/a&gt;),
 749 to get the copyright information to show up in the PDF and to get a
 750 nicer &amp;lt;variablelist&amp;gt; typesetting, but that is just a minor
 751 technical detail.&lt;/p&gt;
 752
 753 &lt;p&gt;There were a few challenges, of course.  We want to typeset the
 754 short story to look like the original, and that require fairly good
 755 control over the layout.  The original short story have three
 756 parts/scenes separated by a single horizontally centred star (*), and
 757 the paragraphs do not contain only flowing text, but dialogs and text
 758 that started on a new line in the middle of the paragraph.&lt;/p&gt;
 759
 760 &lt;p&gt;I initially solved the first challenge by using a paragraph with a
 761 single star in it, ie &amp;lt;para&amp;gt;*&amp;lt;/para&amp;gt;, but it made sure a
 762 placeholder indicated where the scene shifted.  This did not look too
 763 good without the centring.  The next approach was to create a new
 764 preprocessor directive &amp;lt;?newscene?&amp;gt;, mapping to &quot;&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&quot;
 765 for HTML and &quot;&amp;lt;fo:block text-align=&quot;center&quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;fo:leader
 766 leader-pattern=&quot;rule&quot; rule-thickness=&quot;0.5pt&quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/fo:block&amp;gt;&quot;
 767 for FO/PDF output (did not try to implement this in dblatex, as we had
 768 switched at this time).  The HTML XSL file looked like this:&lt;/p&gt;
 769
 770 &lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
 771 &amp;lt;?xml version=&#39;1.0&#39;?&amp;gt;
 772 &amp;lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform&quot; version=&#39;1.0&#39;&amp;gt;
 773   &amp;lt;xsl:template match=&quot;processing-instruction(&#39;newscene&#39;)&quot;&amp;gt;
 774     &amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;
 775   &amp;lt;/xsl:template&amp;gt;
 776 &amp;lt;/xsl:stylesheet&amp;gt;
 777 &lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 778
 779 &lt;p&gt;And the FO/PDF XSL file looked like this:&lt;/p&gt;
 780
 781 &lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
 782 &amp;lt;?xml version=&#39;1.0&#39;?&amp;gt;
 783 &amp;lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform&quot; version=&#39;1.0&#39;&amp;gt;
 784   &amp;lt;xsl:template match=&quot;processing-instruction(&#39;newscene&#39;)&quot;&amp;gt;
 785     &amp;lt;fo:block text-align=&quot;center&quot;&amp;gt;
 786       &amp;lt;fo:leader leader-pattern=&quot;rule&quot; rule-thickness=&quot;0.5pt&quot;/&amp;gt;
 787     &amp;lt;/fo:block&amp;gt;
 788   &amp;lt;/xsl:template&amp;gt;
 789 &amp;lt;/xsl:stylesheet&amp;gt;
 790 &lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 791
 792 &lt;p&gt;Finally, I came across the &amp;lt;bridgehead&amp;gt; tag, which seem to be
 793 a good fit for the task at hand, and I replaced &amp;lt;?newscene?&amp;gt;
 794 with &amp;lt;bridgehead&amp;gt;*&amp;lt;/bridgehead&amp;gt;.  It isn&#39;t centred, but we
 795 can fix it with some XSL rule if the current visual layout isn&#39;t
 796 enough.&lt;/p&gt;
 797
 798 &lt;p&gt;I did not find a good DocBook compliant way to solve the
 799 linebreak/paragraph challenge, so I ended up creating a new processor
 800 directive &amp;lt;?linebreak?&amp;gt;, mapping to &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; in HTML, and
 801 &amp;lt;fo:block/&amp;gt; in FO/PDF.  I suspect there are better ways to do
 802 this, and welcome ideas and patches on github.  The HTML XSL file now
 803 look like this:&lt;/p&gt;
 804
 805 &lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
 806 &amp;lt;?xml version=&#39;1.0&#39;?&amp;gt;
 807 &amp;lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform&quot; version=&#39;1.0&#39;&amp;gt;
 808   &amp;lt;xsl:template match=&quot;processing-instruction(&#39;linebreak)&quot;&amp;gt;
 809     &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;
 810   &amp;lt;/xsl:template&amp;gt;
 811 &amp;lt;/xsl:stylesheet&amp;gt;
 812 &lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 813
 814 &lt;p&gt;And the FO/PDF XSL file looked like this:&lt;/p&gt;
 815
 816 &lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
 817 &amp;lt;?xml version=&#39;1.0&#39;?&amp;gt;
 818 &amp;lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform&quot; version=&#39;1.0&#39;
 819   xmlns:fo=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format&quot;&amp;gt;
 820   &amp;lt;xsl:template match=&quot;processing-instruction(&#39;linebreak)&quot;&amp;gt;
 821     &amp;lt;fo:block/&amp;gt;
 822   &amp;lt;/xsl:template&amp;gt;
 823 &amp;lt;/xsl:stylesheet&amp;gt;
 824 &lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 825
 826 &lt;p&gt;One unsolved challenge is our wish to expose different ISBN numbers
 827 per publication format, while keeping all of them in some conditional
 828 structure in the DocBook source.  No idea how to do this, so we ended
 829 up listing all the ISBN numbers next to their format in the colophon
 830 page.&lt;/p&gt;
 831
 832 &lt;p&gt;If you want to check out the finished result, check out the
 833 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/sickel/kodemus&quot;&gt;source repository at
 834 github&lt;/a&gt;
 835 (&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/EFN/kodemus&quot;&gt;future/new/official
 836 repository&lt;/a&gt;).  We expect it to be ready and announced in a few
 837 days.&lt;/p&gt;

 845                 <pubDate>Wed, 19 Dec 2012 13:10:00 +0100</pubDate>
 846                 <description>&lt;p&gt;Jeg ble overrasket over å se at Piratpartiet i
 847 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aftenposten.no/kultur/Piratpartiet-stiller-til-Stortingsvalget-7073298.html&quot;&gt;Aftenposten&lt;/a&gt;
 848 er referert på følgende:&lt;/p&gt;
 849
 850 &lt;blockquote&gt;
 851 Når det gjelder retten til opphavsrett for kulturproduktene, mener
 852 Piratpartiet av levetid + 14 år er tilfredsstillende.
 853 &lt;/blockquote&gt;
 854
 855 &lt;p&gt;Det betyr en vernetid langt ut over det kommersielle livet til de
 856 aller fleste opphavsrettsbeskyttede verker, og er i strid med slik i
 857 hvert fall jeg har tolket punkt 5 i
 858 &lt;a href=&quot;http://people.opera.com/howcome/2012/piratpartiet/kjerneprogram.html&quot;&gt;kjerneprogrammet
 859 til Piratpartiet&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
 860
 861 &lt;blockquote&gt;
 862 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5: Åndsverk og patenter: tilbake til start&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 863
 864 &lt;table border=&quot;1&quot;&gt;
 865 &lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;forslag:&lt;/th&gt;&lt;td&gt;14 års opphavsrett og ingen
 866 programvarepatenter&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
 867
 868 &lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;grunn:&lt;/th&gt;&lt;td&gt;Den første loven om opphavsrett spesifiserte 14
 869 års vernetid. Senere har mediabransjens lobbyister stadig presset
 870 loven mot lengre vern, nå er det 70 år etter forfatters død. Dette
 871 gjør at mange verk glemmes og går tapt, noe som er skadelig for norsk
 872 språk og kultur. Vi til tilbake til start: 14 års
 873 vernetid. Patentloven sier klart at dataprogrammer ikke kan
 874 patenteres. Likevel klarer patentadvokater å lure gjennom
 875 programvarepatenter. Slike patenter gjør dingsene våre dyrere og kan i
 876 enkelte tilfelle stoppe dem helt.&lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
 877 &lt;/table&gt;
 878 &lt;/blockquote&gt;
 879
 880 &lt;p&gt;Den opprinnelige opphavsretten var på 14 år totalt, ikke 14 år
 881 etter opphavspersonens død.  Jeg tenkte først dette kanskje var
 882 feilsitering fra Aftenposten, men jeg finner samme påstand i en &lt;a
 883 href=&quot;http://piratpartietnorge.org/om-gramo-og-piratpolitikken/&quot;&gt;bloggpost
 884 fra Geir Aaslid&lt;/a&gt; på Piratpartietes offisielle nettsider.  Der
 885 skriver han følgende:&lt;/p&gt;
 886
 887 &lt;blockquote&gt;
 888 Hva vi gjør med opphavsretten er mer komplisert fordi den omfavner så
 889 mange bransjer, med ulike behov. Enhver reform er en forbedring men
 890 det er nærliggende å anta at en opphavsrett på levetid + 14 år er
 891 fullt ut tilfredstillende for musikk, film, litteratur og spill.
 892 &lt;/blockquote&gt;
 893
 894 &lt;p&gt;Det virker dermed på meg som om Piratpartiet allerede har gjort
 895 retrett fra sin beundringsverdige holdning om at det holdt med 14 års
 896 total vernetid, til sin nye som tar utgangspunkt i levetiden til
 897 opphavspersonen.  Jeg håper det baserer seg på en misforståelse hos
 898 piratlederen som blir korrigert tilbake til 14 års total vernetid før
 899 partiet stiller til valg.&lt;/p&gt;
 900
 901 &lt;p&gt;Hvis du lurer på hvilke problemer lang vernetid bringer med seg,
 902 anbefaler jeg å lese boken &lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free
 903 Culture&lt;/a&gt; av Lawrence Lessig.  Jeg og en liten gruppe andre er igang
 904 med å
 905 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;oversette
 906 boken til bokmål&lt;/a&gt; og tar gjerne imot hjelp med oversettelse og
 907 korrekturlesing.&lt;/p&gt;
 908
 909 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Oppdatering 2012-12-20&lt;/strong&gt;: Oppdaget at
 910 &lt;a href=&quot;http://piratpartietnorge.org/om-gramo-og-piratpolitikken/&quot;&gt;bloggposten
 911 til Geir Aaslid&lt;/a&gt; er endret siden i går, og nå inneholder følgende
 912 avsnitt i stedet for det jeg siterte over:&lt;/p&gt;
 913
 914 &lt;blockquote&gt;
 915 Hva vi gjør med opphavsretten er mer komplisert fordi den omfavner så
 916 mange bransjer, med ulike behov. Enhver reform er en forbedring men
 917 det er nærliggende å anta at en opphavsrett lik levetiden, evt + 14 år
 918 er fullt ut tilfredstillende for mange skapere av musikk, film,
 919 litteratur og spill. Det er for det meste de store forlagene som er
 920 imot enhver reform.
 921 &lt;/blockquote&gt;
 922

 924 er et utkast til svar på et angrep på Piratpartiet fra Gramo. Det

 937                 <description>&lt;p&gt;While working on a
 938 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;Norwegian
 939 translation of the Free Culture by Lawrence Lessig&lt;/a&gt; (76% done),
 940 which cover the problems with todays copyright law and how it stifles
 941 creativity, one idea occurred to me.  The idea is to get the tax
 942 office to help make more works enter the public domain and also help
 943 make it easier to clear rights for using copyrighted works.&lt;/p&gt;
 944
 945 &lt;p&gt;I mentioned this idea briefly during Yesterdays
 946 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.farmann.no/2012/11/14/john-perry-barlow-in-oslo-friday-nov-16
 947 -15-30-19-00/&quot;&gt;presentation
 948 by John Perry Barlow&lt;/a&gt;, and concluded that it was best to put it
 949 in writing for a wider audience.  The idea is not really based on the
 950 argument that copyrighted works are &quot;intellectual property&quot;, as the
 951 core requirement is that copyrighted work have value for the copyright
 952 holder and the tax office like to collect their share from any value
 953 controlled by the citizens in a country.  I&#39;m sharing the idea here to
 954 let others consider it and perhaps shoot it down with a fresh set of
 955 arguments.&lt;/p&gt;
 956
 957 &lt;p&gt;Most valuables are taxed by the government.  At least here in
 958 Norway, the amount of money you have, the value of our land property,
 959 the value of your house, the value of your car, the value of our
 960 stocks and other valuables are all added together.  If the tax value
 961 of these values exceed your debt, you have to pay the tax office some
 962 taxes for these values.  And copyrighted work have value.  It have
 963 value for the rights holder, who can earn money selling access to the
 964 work.  But it is not included in the tax calculations?  Why not?&lt;/p&gt;
 965
 966 &lt;p&gt;If the government want to tax copyrighted works, it would want to
 967 maintain a database of all the copyrighted works and who are the
 968 rights holders for a given works, to be able to associate the works
 969 value to the right citizen or company for tax purposes.  If such
 970 database exist, it will become a lot easier to find out who to talk to
 971 for clearing permissions to use a copyrighted work, which is a very
 972 hard operation with todays copyright law.  To ensure that copyright
 973 holders keep the database up-to-date, it would have to become a
 974 requirement to be able to collect money for granting access to
 975 copyrighted works that the work is listed in the database with the
 976 correct right holder.&lt;/p&gt;
 977
 978 &lt;p&gt;If copyright causes copyright holders to have to pay more taxes,
 979 they will have a small incentive to &quot;disown&quot; their copyright, and let
 980 the work enter the public domain. For works with several right holders
 981 one of the right holders could state (and get it registered in the
 982 database) that she do not need to be consulted when clearing rights to
 983 use the work in question and thus will not get any income from that
 984 work.  Stating this would have to be impossible to revert and stop the
 985 tax office from adding the value of that work to the given citizens
 986 tax calculation.  I assume the copyright law would stay the same,
 987 allowing creators to pick a license of their choosing, and also
 988 allowing them to put their work directly in the public domain.  The
 989 existence of such database will make it even easier to clear rights,
 990 and if the right holders listed in the database is taxed, this system
 991 would increase the amount of works that enter the public domain.&lt;/p&gt;
 992
 993 &lt;p&gt;The effect would be that the tax office help to make it easier to
 994 get rights to use the works that have not yet entered the public
 995 domain and help to get more work into the public domain and .&lt;/p&gt;
 996
 997 &lt;p&gt;Why have such taxing not happened yet?  I am sure the tax office
 998 would like to tax copyrighted work values if they could.&lt;/p&gt;

1006                 <pubDate>Sun, 23 Sep 2012 09:30:00 +0200</pubDate>
1007                 <description>&lt;p&gt;Since this summer, I have worked in my spare time on a Norwegian &lt;a
1008 href=&quot;http://www.docbook.org/&quot;&gt;docbook&lt;/a&gt; version of the 2004 book &lt;a
1009 href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt; by Lawrence Lessig.
1010 The reason is that this book is a great primer on what problems exist
1011 in the current copyright laws, and I want it to be available also for
1012 those that are reluctant do read an English book.
1013
1014 When I started, I
1015 &lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Dugnad_for___sende_norsk_versjon_av_Free_Culture_til_stortingets_representanter_.html&quot;&gt;called
1016 for volunteers&lt;/a&gt; to help me, but too few have volunteered so far,
1017 and progress is a bit slow.  Anyway, today I broken the 70 percent
1018 mark for the first rough translation.  At the moment, less than 700
1019 strings (paragraphs, index terms, titles) are left to translate.  With
1020 my current progress of 10-20 strings per day, it will take a while to
1021 complete the translation.  This graph show the updated progress:&lt;/p&gt;
1022
1023 &lt;img width=&quot;80%&quot; align=&quot;center&quot; src=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/raw/master/progress.png&quot;&gt;
1024
1025 &lt;p&gt;Progress have slowed down lately due to family and work
1026 commitments.  If you want to help, please get in touch, and check out
1027 the project files currently available from
1028 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;github&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
1029
1030 &lt;p&gt;If you are curious what the translated book currently look like,
1031 the updated
1032 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/blob/master/archive/freeculture.nb.pdf?raw=true&quot;&gt;PDF&lt;/a&gt;
1033 and
1034 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/blob/master/archive/freeculture.nb.epub?raw=true&quot;&gt;EPUB&lt;/a&gt;
1035 are published on github.  The HTML version is published as well, but
1036 github hand it out with MIME type text/plain, confusing browsers, so I
1037 saw no point in linking to that version.&lt;/p&gt;

1046                 <description>&lt;p&gt;In my spare time, I currently work on a Norwegian
1047 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.docbook.org/&quot;&gt;docbook&lt;/a&gt; version of the 2004 book
1048 &lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt; by Lawrence Lessig,
1049 to get a Norwegian text explaining the problems with the copyright law
1050 I can give to my parents and others that are reluctant to read an
1051 English book.  It is a marvellous set of examples on how the ever
1052 expanding copyright regulations hurt culture and society.  When the
1053 translation is done, I hope to find funding to print and ship a copy
1054 to all the members of the Norwegian parliament, before they sit down
1055 to debate the latest revisions to the Norwegian copyright law.  This
1056 summer I
1057 &lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Dugnad_for___sende_norsk_versjon_av_Free_Culture_til_stortingets_representanter_.html&quot;&gt;called
1058 for volunteers&lt;/a&gt; to help me, and I have been able to secure the
1059 valuable contribution from at least one other Norwegian.&lt;/p&gt;
1060
1061 &lt;p&gt;Two days ago, we finally broke the 50% mark.  Then more than 50% of
1062 the number of strings to translate (normally paragraphs, but also
1063 titles and index entries are also counted).  All parts from the
1064 beginning up to and including chapter four is translated.  So is
1065 chapters six, seven and the conclusion.  I created a graph to show the
1066 progress:&lt;/p&gt;
1067
1068 &lt;img width=&quot;80%&quot; align=&quot;center&quot; src=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/raw/master/progress.png&quot;&gt;
1069
1070 &lt;p&gt;The number of strings to translate increase as I insert the index
1071 entries into the docbook.  They were missing with the docbook version
1072 I initially started with.  There are still quite a few index entries
1073 missing, but everyone starting with A, B, O, Z and Y are done.  I
1074 currently focus on completing the index entries, to get a complete
1075 english version of the docbook source.&lt;/p&gt;
1076
1077 &lt;p&gt;There is still need for translators and people with docbook
1078 knowledge, to be able to get a good looking book (I still struggle
1079 with dblatex, xmlto and docbook-xsl) as well as to do the draft
1080 translation and proof reading.  And I would like the figures to be
1081 redrawn as SVGs to make it easy to translate them.  Any SVG master
1082 around?  I am sure there are some legal terms that are unfamiliar to
1083 me.  If you want to help, please get in touch, and check out the
1084 project files currently available from &lt;a
1085 href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;github&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
1086
1087 &lt;p&gt;If you are curious what the translated book currently look like,
1088 the updated
1089 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/blob/master/archive/freeculture.nb.pdf?raw=true&quot;&gt;PDF&lt;/a&gt;

1099                 <title>Notes on language codes for Norwegian docbook processing...</title>
1100                 <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Notes_on_language_codes_for_Norwegian_docbook_processing___.html</link>
1101                 <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Notes_on_language_codes_for_Norwegian_docbook_processing___.html</guid>
1102                 <pubDate>Fri, 10 Aug 2012 21:00:00 +0200</pubDate>
1103                 <description>&lt;p&gt;In &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.docbook.org/&quot;&gt;docbook&lt;/a&gt; one can specify
1104 the language used at the top, and the processing pipeline will use
1105 this information to pick the correct translations for &#39;chapter&#39;, &#39;see
1106 also&#39;, &#39;index&#39; etc.  And for most languages used with docbook, I guess
1107 this work just fine.  For example a German user can start the document
1108 with &amp;lt;book lang=&quot;de&quot;&amp;gt;, and the document will show up with the
1109 correct content with any of the docbook processors.  This is not the
1110 case for the language
1111 &lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Free_Culture_in_Norwegian___5_chapters_done__74_percent_left_to_do.html&quot;&gt;I
1112 am working with at the moment&lt;/a&gt;, Norwegian Bokmål.&lt;/p&gt;
1113
1114 &lt;p&gt;For a while, I was confused about which language code to use,
1115 because I was unable to find any language code that would work across
1116 all tools.  I am currently testing dblatex, xmlto, docbook-xsl, and
1117 dbtoepub, and they do not handle Norwegian Bokmål the same way.  Some
1118 of them do not handle it at all.&lt;/p&gt;
1119
1120 &lt;p&gt;A bit of background information is probably needed to understand
1121 this mess.  Norwegian is not one, but two written variants.  The
1122 variants are Norwegian Nynorsk and Norwegian Bokmål.  There are three
1123 two letter language codes associated with these languages, Norwegian
1124 is &#39;no&#39;, Norwegian Nynorsk is &#39;nn&#39; and Norwegian Bokmål is &#39;nb&#39;.
1125 Historically the &#39;no&#39; language code was used for Norwegian Bokmål, but
1126 many years ago this was found to be å bad idea, and the recommendation
1127 is to use the most specific language code instead, to avoid confusion.
1128 In the transition period it is a good idea to make sure &#39;no&#39; was an
1129 alias for &#39;nb&#39;.&lt;/p&gt;
1130
1131 &lt;p&gt;Back to docbook processing tools in Debian.  The dblatex tool only
1132 understand &#39;nn&#39;.  There are translations for &#39;no&#39;, but not &#39;nb&#39; (BTS
1133 &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/684391&quot;&gt;#684391&lt;/a&gt;), but due to a bug
1134 (BTS &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/682936&quot;&gt;#682936&lt;/a&gt;) the &#39;no&#39;
1135 language code is not recognised.  The docbook-xsl tool chain only
1136 recognise &#39;nn&#39; and &#39;nb&#39;, but not &#39;no&#39;.  The xmlto tool only recognise
1137 &#39;nn&#39; and &#39;nb&#39;, but not &#39;no&#39;.  The end result that there is no language
1138 code I can use to get the docbook file working with all of these tools
1139 at the same time. :(&lt;/p&gt;
1140
1141 &lt;p&gt;The correct solution is to use &amp;lt;book lang=&quot;nb&quot;&amp;gt;, but it will
1142 take time before that will work with all the free software docbook
1143 processors. :(&lt;/p&gt;
1144
1145 &lt;p&gt;Oh, the joy of well integrated tools. :/&lt;/p&gt;

1154                 <description>&lt;p&gt;I tried to send this text to the
1155 &lt;a href=&quot;https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/&quot;&gt;docbook-apps
1156 mailing list at lists.oasis-open.org&lt;/a&gt;, but it only accept messages
1157 from subscribers and rejected my post, and I completely lack the
1158 bandwidth required to subscribe to another mailing list, so instead I
1159 try to post my message here and hope my blog readers can help me
1160 out.&lt;/p&gt;
1161
1162 &lt;p&gt;I am quite new to docbook processing, and am climbing a steep
1163 learning curve at the moment.&lt;/p&gt;
1164
1165 &lt;p&gt;To give you some background, I am working on a Norwegian
1166 translation of the book Free Culture by Lawrence Lessig, and I use
1167 docbook to handle the process.  The files to build the book are
1168 available from
1169 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;github&lt;/a&gt;.
1170 The book got around 400 pages with parts, images, footnotes, tables,
1171 index entries etc, which has proven to be a challenge for the free
1172 software docbook processors.  My build platform is Debian GNU/Linux
1173 Squeeze.&lt;/p&gt;
1174
1175 &lt;p&gt;I want to build PDF, EPUB and HTML version of the book, and have
1176 tried different tool chains to do the conversion from docbook to these
1177 formats.  I am currently focusing on the PDF version, and have a few
1178 problems.&lt;/p&gt;
1179
1180 &lt;ul&gt;
1181
1182 &lt;li&gt;Using dblatex, the &amp;lt;part&amp;gt; handling is not the way I want to,
1183    as &amp;lt;/part&amp;gt; do not really end the &amp;lt;part&amp;gt;. (See
1184    &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/683166&quot;&gt;BTS report #683166&lt;/a&gt;), the
1185    xetex backend (needed to process UTF-8) give incorrect hyphens in
1186    index references spanning several pages (See
1187    &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/682901&quot;&gt;BTS report #682901&lt;/a&gt;), and
1188    I am unable to get the norwegian template texts (See
1189    &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/682936&quot;&gt;BTS report #682936&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/li&gt;
1190
1191 &lt;li&gt;Using straight xmlto fail with some latex error (See
1192    &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/683163&quot;&gt;BTS report
1193    #683163&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/li&gt;
1194
1195 &lt;li&gt;Using xmlto with the fop backend fail to handle images (do not
1196    show up in the PDF), fail to handle a long footnote (overlap
1197    footnote and text body, see
1198    &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/683197&quot;&gt;BTS report #683197&lt;/a&gt;), and
1199    fail to create a correct index (some lack page ref, and the page
1200    refs listed are not right).&lt;/li&gt;
1201
1202 &lt;li&gt;Using xmlto with the dblatex backend behave like dblatex.&lt;/li&gt;
1203
1204 &lt;li&gt;Using docbook-xls with xsltproc + fop have the same footnote and
1205    index problems the xmlto + fop processing.&lt;/li&gt;
1206
1207 &lt;/ul&gt;
1208
1209 &lt;p&gt;So I wonder, what would be the best way to create the PDF version
1210 of this book?  Are some of the bugs found above solved in new or
1211 experimental versions of some docbook tool chain?&lt;/p&gt;
1212
1213 &lt;p&gt;What about HTML and EPUB versions?&lt;/p&gt;

1222                 <description>&lt;p&gt;I reported earlier that I am working on
1223 &lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Dugnad_for___sende_norsk_versjon_av_Free_Culture_til_stortingets_representanter_.html&quot;&gt;a
1224 norwegian version&lt;/a&gt; of the book
1225 &lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt; by Lawrence Lessig.
1226 Progress is good, and yesterday I got a major contribution from Anders
1227 Hagen Jarmund completing chapter six.  The source files as well as a
1228 PDF and EPUB version of this book are available from
1229 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;github&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
1230
1231 &lt;p&gt;I am happy to report that the draft for the first two chapters
1232 (preface, introduction) is complete, and three other chapters are also
1233 completely translated.  This completes 26 percent of the number of
1234 strings (equivalent to paragraphs) in the book, and there is thus 74
1235 percent left to translate.  A graph of the progress is present at the
1236 bottom of the github project page.  There is still room for more
1237 contributors.  Get in touch or send github pull requests with fixes if
1238 you got time and are willing to help make this book make it to
1239 print. :)&lt;/p&gt;
1240
1241 &lt;p&gt;The book translation framework could also be a good basis for other
1242 translations, if you want the book to be available in your
1243 language.&lt;/p&gt;

1252                 <description>&lt;p&gt;I am currently working on a
1253 &lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Dugnad_for___sende_norsk_versjon_av_Free_Culture_til_stortingets_representanter_.html&quot;&gt;project
1254 to translate&lt;/a&gt; the book
1255 &lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt; by Lawrence Lessig
1256 to Norwegian.  And the source we base our translation on is the
1257 &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DocBook&quot;&gt;docbook&lt;/a&gt; version, to
1258 allow us to use po4a and .po files to handle the translation, and for
1259 this to work well the docbook source document need to be properly
1260 tagged.  The source files of this project is available from
1261 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;github&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
1262
1263 &lt;p&gt;The problem is that the docbook source have flaws, and we have
1264 no-one involved in the project that is a docbook expert.  Is there a
1265 docbook expert somewhere that is interested in helping us create a
1266 well tagged docbook version of the book, and adjust our build process
1267 for the PDF, EPUB and HTML version of the book?  This will provide a
1268 well tagged English version (our source document), and make it a lot
1269 easier for us to create a good Norwegian version.  If you can and want
1270 to help, please get in touch with me or fork the github project and
1271 send pull requests with fixes. :)&lt;/p&gt;

1277                 <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Fri_programvare____fri__som_i__talefrihet___ikke_som_i__fri_bar_.html</link>

1280                 <description>&lt;p&gt;Et ofte brukt sitat i fri programvareverden er Stallman-sitatet
1281 «&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html.en&quot;&gt;Free Software,
1282 &quot;free&quot; as in &quot;free speech&quot;, not as in &quot;free beer&quot;&lt;/a&gt;».  Men det er
1283 ikke direkte overførbart til norsk, da det baserer seg på koblingen
1284 gratis/fri på engelsk.  En direkte oversettelse ville være «Fri
1285 programvare, &quot;fri&quot; som i &quot;talefrihet&quot;, ikke som &quot;gratis øl&quot;», og det
1286 går jo glipp av poenget.  I forbindelse med at vi er
1287 &lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Dugnad_for___sende_norsk_versjon_av_Free_Culture_til_stortingets_representanter_.html&quot;&gt;igang
1288 med å oversette&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt;
1289 av Lawrence Lessig, måtte jeg forsøke a finne en bedre
1290 oversettelse.&lt;/p&gt;
1291
1292 &lt;p&gt;Mitt forslag til oversettelse blir dermed å droppe ølet, og heller
1293 fokusere på det kjente norske uttrykket &quot;fri bar&quot;.  Dermed blir
1294 oversettelsen «Fri programvare - &quot;fri&quot; som i &quot;talefrihet&quot;, ikke som i
1295 &quot;fri bar&quot;».&lt;/p&gt;
1296
1297 &lt;p&gt;Noen som har bedre forslag?&lt;/p&gt;
1298
1299 &lt;p&gt;Forøvrig bruker jeg fri programvare som et samlebegrep på norsk for
1300 begge de engelske uttrykkene Free Software og Open Source, jamfør
1301 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/dokumenter/folder-friprogramvare.pdf&quot;&gt;NUUGs
1302 lille folder om temaet&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

1311                 <description>&lt;p&gt;Da opphavsrettsloven ble revidert i forrige runde rundt 2005, var
1312 det skummelt å se hvor lite stortingsrepresentantene forsto hvordan
1313 Internet påvirket folks forhold til kulturuttrykk, og min venn Vidar
1314 og jeg spekulert på at det hadde kanskje vært fornuftig om samtlige
1315 representanter fikk en norsk utgave av boken
1316 &lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt; av Lawrence Lessig
1317 som forklarte litt om problemstillingene.  Vi endte opp med å
1318 prioritere utvikling i
1319 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;-prosjektet i
1320 stedet, så den oversatte boken så aldri dagens lys.  Men i forrige uke
1321 ble jeg inspirert til å ta opp tråden og se om det er mulig å få til
1322 bokprosjektet denne gang, da det er tydelig at kulturdepartementet i
1323 sitt nye forsøk på å gjøre opphavsrettsloven enda mer ubalansert til
1324 fordel for forlag og store mediehus fortsatt trenger en annen vinkling
1325 i debatten.&lt;/p&gt;
1326
1327 &lt;p&gt;Planen min er å oversette boka på dugnad, sette den opp for
1328 trykking med en av de mange
1329 &lt;a href=&quot;http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trykk_på_forespørsel&quot;&gt;trykk på
1330 forespørsel&lt;/a&gt;-tjenestene, skaffe sponsor til å finansiere trykking
1331 til stortingsrepresentantene og alle som har bidratt med
1332 oversettelser.  Kanskje vi også kan få en avtale med et forlag om
1333 publisering når boka er ferdig?  Kommentarene til
1334 &lt;a href=&quot;http://newth.net/eirik/2011/04/01/e-selvpublisering/&quot;&gt;Eirik
1335 Newth&lt;/a&gt; og
1336 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.espen.com/norskblogg/archives/2008/09/erfaringer_med_publishing_on_demand.html&quot;&gt;Espen
1337 Andersen&lt;/a&gt; om erfaringene med selvpublisering og trykk på
1338 forespørsel er interessante og ikke avskrekkende, og jeg mistenker at
1339 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lulu.com/&quot;&gt;Lulu&lt;/a&gt; er en grei leverandør av
1340 trykketjenester til prosjektet.&lt;/p&gt;
1341
1342 &lt;p&gt;Jeg har satt opp
1343 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;et
1344 Github-prosjekt&lt;/a&gt; for a lage boken, basert på Docbook-utgaven jeg
1345 fant fra Hans Schou.  Skolelinux har hatt byggesystem for å lage
1346 oversatt HTML og PDF-utgave av Docbook-bøker i en årrekke, så jeg har
1347 kopiert og utvidet dette oppsettet.  Originalteksten er i Docbook, og
1348 oversettelsen gjøres i .po-filer med hjelp av vanlige
1349 oversetterverktøy brukt i fri programvareverden.  Dernest tar
1350 byggesystemet over og lager PDF og EPUB-utgave av den oversatte
1351 teksten.  Resultatet kan ses i Github-prosjektet.  For å komme raskt
1352 igang har jeg brukt maskinoversettelse av alle tekstbitene fra engelsk
1353 til norsk, noe som grovoversatte ca. 1300 av de ca. 1700 tekstbitene
1354 boken består av.  Jeg håper nå at flere kan bidra med å få
1355 oversettelsen på plass, slik at teksten kan være klar i løpet av
1356 høsten.  Når alt er oversatt må teksten gjennomgås for feil og
1357 konsistent språk.  Totalt er det nok mange timer som trengs for å
1358 gjennomføre oversettelsen.&lt;/p&gt;
1359
1360 &lt;p&gt;Økonomien i dette er ikke avskrekkende.  169
1361 stortingsrepresentanter og nesten like mange varamedlemmer bør få
1362 bøker, og estimert produduksjonskostnad for hver bok er rundt 6 EURO i
1363 følge et raskt estimat fra Lulu.  Jeg vet ennå ikke hvor mange sider
1364 det blir i størrelsen 5,5&quot; x 8.5&quot; (det er ca. 140 sider i A4-format),
1365 så jeg gjettet på 400 sider.  Jeg tror originalutgaven har nesten 400
1366 sider.  For 169*2 eksemplarer snakker vi om en trykkekostnad på
1367 ca. 2000 EURO, dvs. ca 15 000 NOK.  Det burde være mulig å finne en
1368 sponsor for å dekke en slik sum.  I tillegg kommer distribusjon og
1369 porto, som antagelig kommer på like mye.&lt;/p&gt;
1370
1371 &lt;p&gt;Kan du bidra med oversettelse og docbook-typesetting?  Ta kontakt
1372 og send patcher i github.  Jeg legger gjerne inn folk i prosjektet
1373 slik at du kan oppdatere direkte.&lt;/p&gt;
