  24 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/&quot;&gt;github&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  25
  26 &lt;p&gt;Jeg ble gledelig overrasket i dag da jeg oppdaget at boken jeg har
  27 gitt ut
  28 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.amazon.com/Fri-kultur-Norwegian-Lawrence-Lessig/dp/8269018236/&quot;&gt;hadde
  29 dukket opp i Amazon&lt;/a&gt;.  Jeg hadde trodd det skulle ta lenger tid, da
  30 jeg fikk beskjed om at det skulle ta seks til åtte uker.
  31 Amazonoppføringen er et resultat av at jeg for noen uker siden
  32 diskuterte prissetting og håndtering av profitt med forfatteren.  Det
  33 måtte avklares da bruksvilkårene til boken har krav om
  34 ikke-kommersiell bruk.  Vi ble enige om at overskuddet fra salg av
  35 boken skal sendes til
  36 &lt;a href=&quot;https://creativecommons.org/&quot;&gt;Creative Commons-stiftelsen&lt;/a&gt;.
  37 Med det på plass kunne jeg be
  38 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/fri-kultur/paperback/product-22441576.html&quot;&gt;lulu.com&lt;/a&gt;
  39 om å gi boken «utvidet» distribusjon.  Årsaken til at
  40 bokhandeldistribusjon var litt utfordrende er at bokhandlere krever
  41 mulighet for profitt på bøkene de selger (selvfølgelig), og dermed
  42 måtte de få lov til å selge til høyere pris enn lulu.com.  I tillegg
  43 er det krav om samme pris på lulu.com og i bokhandlene, dermed blir
  44 prisen økt også hos lulu.com.  Hva skulle jeg gjøre med den profitten
  45 uten å bryte med klausulen om ikkekommersiell?  Løsningen var å gi
  46 bort profitten til CC-stiftelsen.  Prisen på boken ble nesten
  47 tredoblet, til $19.99 (ca. 160,-) pluss frakt, men synligheten øker
  48 betraktelig når den kan finnes i katalogene til store nettbokhandlere.
  49 Det betyr at hvis du allerede har kjøpt boken har du fått den veldig
  50 billig, og kjøper du den nå, får du den fortsatt billig samt donerer i
  51 tillegg noen tiere til fremme av Creative Commons.&lt;/p&gt;
  52
  53 &lt;p&gt;Mens jeg var i gang med å titte etter informasjon om boken
  54 oppdaget jeg  at den også var dukket opp på
  55 &lt;a href=&quot;https://books.google.no/books?id=uKUGCwAAQBAJ&quot;&gt;Google
  56 Books&lt;/a&gt;, der en kan lese den på web.  PDF-utgaven har ennå ikke
  57 dukket opp hos &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nb.no/&quot;&gt;Nasjonalbiblioteket&lt;/a&gt;,
  58 men det regner jeg med kommer på plass i løpet av noen uker.  Boken er
  59 heller ikke dukket opp hos
  60 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.barnesandnoble.com/&quot;&gt;Barnes &amp; Noble&lt;/a&gt; ennå, men
  61 jeg antar det bare er et tidsspørsmål før dette på plass.&lt;/p&gt;
  62
  63 &lt;p&gt;Boken er desverre ikke tilgjengelig fra norske bokhandlere, og
  64 kommer neppe til å bli det med det første.  Årsaken er at for å få det
  65 til måtte jeg personlig håndtere bestilling av bøker, hvilket jeg ikke
  66 er interessert i å bruke tid på.  Jeg kunne betalt ca 2000,- til
  67 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bokbasen.no/&quot;&gt;den norske bokbasen&lt;/a&gt;, en felles
  68 database over bøker tilgjengelig for norske bokhandlere, for å få en
  69 oppføring der, men da måtte jeg tatt imot bestillinger på epost og
  70 sendt ut bøker selv.  Det ville krevd at jeg var klar til å
  71 sende ut bøker på kort varsel, dvs. holdt meg med ekstra bøker,
  72 konvolutter og frimerker.  Bokbasen har visst ikke opplegg for å be
  73 bokhandlene bestille direkte via web, så jeg droppet oppføring der.
  74 Jeg har spurt Haugen bok og Tronsmo direkte på epost om de er
  75 interessert i å ta inn boken i sin bestillingskatalog, men ikke fått
  76 svar, så jeg antar de ikke er interessert.  Derimot har jeg fått en
  77 hyggelig henvendelse fra Biblioteksentralen som fortalte at de har
  78 lagt den inn i sin database slik at deres bibliotekskunder enkelt kan
  79 bestille den via dem.&lt;/p&gt;
  80
  81 &lt;p&gt;Boken er i følge
  82 &lt;a href=&quot;http://bibsys-almaprimo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo_library/libweb/action/display.do?tabs=detailsTab&amp;ct=display&amp;fn=search&amp;doc=BIBSYS_ILS71518423420002201&amp;indx=1&amp;recIds=BIBSYS_ILS71518423420002201&amp;recIdxs=0&amp;elementId=0&amp;renderMode=poppedOut&amp;displayMode=full&amp;frbrVersion=&amp;dscnt=0&amp;tab=library_catalogue&amp;dstmp=1448543801124&amp;vl(freeText0)=fri%20kultur&amp;vid=UBO&amp;mode=Basic&quot;&gt;Bibsys/Oria&lt;/a&gt;
  83 og bokdatabasen til
  84 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.deich.folkebibl.no/cgi-bin/websok?tnr=1819617&quot;&gt;Deichmanske&lt;/a&gt;
  85 tilgjengelig fra flere biblioteker allerede, og alle eksemplarer er
  86 visst allerede utlånt med ventetid.  Det synes jeg er veldig gledelig
  87 å se.  Jeg håper mange kommer til å lese boken.  Jeg tror den er
  88 spesielt egnet for foreldre og bekjente av oss nerder for å forklare
  89 hva slags problemer vi ser med dagens opphavsrettsregime.&lt;/p&gt;

  98                 <description>&lt;p&gt;People keep asking me where to get the various forms of the book I
  99 published last week, the Norwegian Bokmål edition of Lawrence Lessigs
 100 book &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt;.  It was
 101 published on paper via lulu.com, and is also available in PDF, ePub
 102 and MOBI format.  I currently sell the paper edition for self cost
 103 from lulu.com, but might extend the distribution to book stores like
 104 Amazon and Barnes &amp; Noble later.  This will double the price and force
 105 me to make a profit from selling the book.  Anyway, here are links to
 106 get the book in different formats:&lt;/p&gt;

 124 &lt;p&gt;Note that the MOBI version have problems with the table of content,
 125 at least with the viewers I have been able to test.  And the ePub file
 126 have several problems according to
 127 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/IDPF/epubcheck&quot;&gt;epubcheck&lt;/a&gt;, but seem
 128 to display fine in the viewers I have tested.  All the files needed to

 149                 <description>&lt;p&gt;Like før kl. 11 i dag leverte jeg fem esker med gaveinnpakkede
 150 bøker til Stortinget, for utdeling til alle stortingsrepresentanter.
 151 Det ble etterfulgt av følgende pressemelding.  Stor takk til NUUG for
 152 lån av epostliste for å sende ut pressemeldingen.&lt;/p&gt;
 153
 154 &lt;blockquote&gt;
 155
 156 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Er opphavsretten for streng, spør ny bok&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 157
 158 &lt;p&gt;I dag kommer boken «&lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Fri
 159 kultur&lt;/a&gt;» av Lawrence Lessig ut på norsk.  Boken handler om
 160 utviklingen og utvidelsene opphavsretten har hatt de siste 40 årene.
 161 Boken er i dag gitt i gave til alle stortingsrepresentantene.
 162 Oversetter og utgiver Petter Reinholdtsen håper Stortinget vil tenke
 163 seg om to ganger neste gang det er snakk om utvidelse av
 164 opphavsretten.&lt;/p&gt;
 165
 166 &lt;p&gt;Boken forteller om hvordan store medieaktører ved hjelp av
 167 opphavsretten bruker teknologi til å begrense kulturen og kontrollere
 168 kreativiteten.  Den er skrevet av stifteren av
 169 &lt;a href=&quot;https://creativecommons.org/&quot;&gt;Creative Commons&lt;/a&gt;, professor
 170 Lawrence Lessig, som for tiden er med i kampen om å bli Demokratenes
 171 &lt;a href=&quot;https://lessig2016.us/&quot;&gt;presidentkandidat i USA sitt
 172 presidentvalg i 2016&lt;/a&gt;.  Lessig ble sist omtalt i norske medier da
 173 NRK i høst viste dokumentaren «Kampen for et demokratisk internett»
 174 som også er
 175 &lt;a href=&quot;https://archive.org/details/TheInternetsOwnBoyTheStoryOfAaronSwartz&quot;&gt;tilgjengelig
 176 fra The Internet Archive&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
 177
 178 &lt;p&gt;Boken beskriver hvordan opphavsrettens makt i USA har blitt
 179 betydelig utvidet etter 1974 langs fem kritiske akser: varighet (fra
 180 32 til 95 år), omfang (fra utgivere til alle), rekkevidde (gjelder nå
 181 enhver fremvisning via datamaskin), kontroll (avledede verk er
 182 definert så bredt at i praksis alle nye åndsverk risikerer søksmål fra
 183 en opphavsrettsinnehaver) og til sist maktkonsentrasjon og integrering
 184 av mediebransjen.  Den dokumenterer også hvordan medieindustrien har
 185 lyktes med å bruke rettsvesenet til å begrense konkurranse, og i
 186 praksis har skaffet seg vetorett over teknologiske nyvinninger.
 187 Nedlasting av fritt, lovlig og i utgangspunktet gratis materiale
 188 stoppes med tekniske sperrer og lobbyert lovvern av sperrene.&lt;/p&gt;
 189
 190 &lt;p&gt;Utvidelsene illustreres i boken med ulike eksempler.  For eksempel
 191 en demonstrasjon av at Walt Disney ville ha blitt ansett som en
 192 opphavsrettspirat dersom han gjorde i dag det han gjorde på
 193 1930-tallet.  Boken beskriver hvordan vern av åndsverk er bra, men at
 194 mer vern ikke nødvendigvis er bedre.&lt;?p&gt;
 195
 196 &lt;p&gt;Petter Reinholdtsen, som sammen med flere frivillige har oversatt
 197 boken på fritiden de siste 3 årene, håper at boken vil gjøre en
 198 forskjell.  «Når en vet hvordan opphavsrettens varighet i Norge, uten
 199 opposisjon på Stortinget, ble utvidet nok en gang i mai i fjor, og
 200 hvordan Norges handelspartner USA gjennom de nye handelsavtalene
 201 Trans-Pacific Partnership og Transatlantic Trade and Investment
 202 Partnership
 203 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/final-leaked-tpp-text-all-we-feared&quot;&gt;ønsker
 204 å utvide opphavsrettens makt også i andre land&lt;/a&gt;, håper jeg at flere
 205 vil spørre: Er det virkelig fornuftig å gjøre de samme utvidelsene i
 206 Norge?», spør han.  «Jeg håper boken kan bidra til kunnskap og
 207 forståelse, og kan gi Stortinget et bedre grunnlag til å ta riktige
 208 beslutninger som ivaretar befolkningens og samfunnets interesser i
 209 Norge.»&lt;/p&gt;
 210
 211 &lt;p&gt;Petter Reinholdtsen er en mangeårig fri programvareutvikler som har
 212 vært med på å lage systemer som operativsystemet Debian, IT-løsningen
 213 Skolelinux, borgerportalen FiksGataMi og innsynstjenesten Mimes brønn.
 214 Han forteller han selv har opplevd problemene utvidet varighet,
 215 omfang, rekkevidde og kontroll i opphavsretten medfører og at boken
 216 var en oppvekker.  «Jeg håper andre finner boken like interessant som
 217 jeg gjorde.  Boken kan
 218 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;lastes
 219 gratis ned fra github&lt;/a&gt; eller
 220 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/fri-kultur/paperback/product-22406445.html&quot;&gt;kjøpes
 221 på papir fra lulu.com&lt;/a&gt;,» avslutter Reinholdtsen.&lt;/p&gt;
 222
 223 &lt;/blockquote&gt;
 224
 225 &lt;p&gt;Så får vi se om det har noen positiv effekt. :)&lt;/p&gt;

 233                 <pubDate>Wed, 28 Oct 2015 09:30:00 +0100</pubDate>
 234                 <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;
 235
 236 &lt;p&gt;I 2004, mens &lt;a href=&quot;https://creativecommons.org/&quot;&gt;Creative
 237 Commons-bevegelsen&lt;/a&gt; vokste frem, skrev bevegelsens stifter Lawrence
 238 Lessig boken
 239 &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Culture_(book)&quot;&gt;Free
 240 Culture&lt;/a&gt; for å forklare problemene med økene åndsverksregulering og
 241 for å foreslå noen løsninger.  Jeg leste boken den gangen, og den både
 242 inspirerte meg og endret på hvordan jeg så på opphavsrettslovigving.
 243 Jeg skulle ønske flere folk leste denne boken.  Den gir en god
 244 gjennomgang av hvordan økende åndsverksregulering skader både
 245 nyskapning og kulturlivet, og skisserer hvordan både lovgivere og oss
 246 vanlige borgere kan bidra for å få slutt på dette.&lt;/p&gt;
 247
 248 &lt;p&gt;Derfor bestemte jeg meg sommeren 2012 for å oversette den til norsk
 249 bokmål og gjøre den tilgjengelig for de blant mine venner og familie
 250 som foretrekker å lese bøker på norsk.  Jeg oversatte boken ved hjelp
 251 av docbook og en gettext PO-fil, og endte opp med to utgaver, en på
 252 norsk og en på engelsk.  Den engelske publiserte jeg i forrige uke, og
 253 den norske utgaven på papir
 254 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/fri-kultur/paperback/product-22406445.html&quot;&gt;er
 255 nå klar for salg&lt;/a&gt;.  Jeg fikk heldigvis hjelp med oversetting og
 256 korrekturlesing av den norske utgaven fra en rekke frivillige.  Se
 257 side 245 for en komplett liste.  Slik ser omslaget ut:
 258
 259 &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;
 260
 261 &lt;p&gt;I tillegg til den norske og engelske utgaven holder vi på med en
 262 fransk utgave.  Den koordineres av dblatex-utvikleren Benoît Guillon,
 263 og oversettelsen var komplett denne uka men må korrekturleses før den
 264 kan gis ut.  Flere frivillige trengs her, så ta kontakt med Benoît
 265 hvis du vil bidra.&lt;/p&gt;
 266
 267 &lt;p&gt;Boken er også tilgjengelig i PDF, ePub og MOBI-format fra
 268 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;min
 269 github-prosjektside&lt;/a&gt;.  Merk at ePub og MOBI-utgavene har noen
 270 formatteringsproblemer som jeg tror kommer av feil i docbook-verktøyet
 271 dbtoepub (Debian BTS-rapporter
 272 &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=795842&quot;&gt;#795842&lt;/a&gt;
 273 og
 274 &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=796871&quot;&gt;#796871&lt;/a&gt;),
 275 men jeg har ikke tatt meg tid til å undersøke problemene.  For de som
 276 vil ha elektronisk kopi anbefaler jeg å bruke PDF- og ePub-utgaven i
 277 denne omgang, da de ser ut til å hånderes bra av de fremviserne jeg
 278 har tilgjengelig.&lt;/p&gt;
 279
 280 &lt;p&gt;Etter at oversettelsen til bokmål var ferdig klarte jeg å overtale
 281 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuugfoundation.no/&quot;&gt;NUUG Foundation&lt;/a&gt; til å
 282 sponse trykking av boken.  Det er årsaken til at stiftelsens logo er
 283 på baksiden av omslaget.  Jeg er svært takknemlig for dette, og bruker
 284 bidraget til å gi en kopi av den norske utgaven til alle
 285 Stortingsrepresentanter og andre beslutningstakere her i Norge.&lt;/p&gt;

 294                 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/free-culture/paperback/product-22402863.html&quot;&gt;Click
 295 here to buy the book&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
 296
 297 &lt;p&gt;In 2004, as the &lt;a href=&quot;https://creativecommons.org/&quot;&gt;Creative Commons
 298 movement&lt;/a&gt; gained momentum, its creator Lawrence Lessig wrote the
 299 book &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Culture_(book)&quot;&gt;Free
 300 Culture&lt;/a&gt; to explain the problems with increasing copyright
 301 regulation and suggest some solutions.  I read the book back then and
 302 was very moved by it.  Reading the book inspired me and changed the
 303 way I looked on copyright law, and I would love it if more people
 304 would read it too.&lt;/p&gt;
 305
 306 &lt;p&gt;Because of this, I decided in the summer of 2012 to translate it to
 307 Norwegian Bokmål and publish it for those of my friends and family
 308 that prefer to read books in Norwegian.  I translated the book using
 309 docbook and a gettext PO file, and a byproduct of this process is a
 310 new edition of the English original.  I&#39;ve been in touch with the
 311 author during by work, and he said it was fine with him if I also
 312 published an English version.  So I decided to do so.  Today, I made
 313 this edition
 314 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/free-culture/paperback/product-22402863.html&quot;&gt;available
 315 for sale on Lulu.com&lt;/a&gt;, for those interested in a paper book.  This
 316 is the cover:
 317
 318 &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;
 319
 320 &lt;p&gt;The Norwegian Bokmål version will be available for purchase in a
 321 few days.  I also plan to publish a French version in a few weeks or
 322 months, depending on the amount of people with knowledge of French to
 323 join the translation project.  So far there is only one active
 324 person, but the French book is almost completely translated but
 325 need some proof reading.&lt;/p&gt;
 326
 327 &lt;p&gt;The book is also available in PDF, ePub and MOBI formats from
 328 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;my
 329 github project page&lt;/a&gt;.  Note the ePub and MOBI versions have some
 330 formatting problems I believe is due to bugs in the docbook tool
 331 dbtoepub (Debian BTS issues
 332 &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=795842&quot;&gt;#795842&lt;/a&gt;
 333 and
 334 &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=796871&quot;&gt;#796871&lt;/a&gt;),
 335 but I have not taken the time to investigate.  I recommend the PDF and
 336 ePub version for now, as they seem to show up fine in the viewers I
 337 have available.&lt;/p&gt;
 338
 339 &lt;p&gt;After the translation to Norwegian Bokmål was complete, I was able
 340 to secure some sponsoring from
 341 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuugfoundation.no/&quot;&gt;the NUUG Foundation&lt;/a&gt; to
 342 print the book.  This is the reason their logo is located on the back
 343 cover. I am very grateful for their contribution, and will use it to
 344 give a copy of the Norwegian edition to members of the Norwegian
 345 Parliament and other decision makers here in Norway.&lt;/p&gt;

 354                 <description>&lt;p&gt;As I wrap up the Norwegian version of
 355 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;Free
 356 Culture&lt;/a&gt; book by Lawrence Lessig (still waiting for my final proof
 357 reading copy to arrive in the mail), my great
 358 &lt;a href=&quot;http://dblatex.sourceforge.net/&quot;&gt;dblatex&lt;/a&gt; helper and
 359 developer of the dblatex docbook processor, Benoît Guillon, decided a
 360 to try to create a French version of the book.  He started with the
 361 French translation available from the
 362 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wikilivres.ca/wiki/Culture_libre&quot;&gt;Wikilivres wiki
 363 pages&lt;/a&gt;, and wrote a program to convert it into a PO file, allowing
 364 the translation to be integrated into the po4a based framework I use
 365 to create the Norwegian translation from the English edition.  We meet
 366 on the &lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.freenode.net/%23dblatex&quot;&gt;#dblatex IRC
 367 channel&lt;/a&gt; to discuss the work.  If you want to help create a French
 368 edition, check out
 369 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/marsgui/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;his git
 370 repository&lt;/a&gt; and join us on IRC.  If the French edition look good,
 371 we might publish it as a paper book on lulu.com.  A French version of
 372 the drawings and the cover need to be provided for this to happen.&lt;/p&gt;

 381                 <description>&lt;p&gt;Creating a good looking book cover proved harder than I expected.
 382 I wanted to create a cover looking similar to the original cover of
 383 the
 384 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;Free
 385 Culture&lt;/a&gt; book we are translating to Norwegian, and I wanted it in
 386 vector format for high resolution printing.  But my inkscape knowledge
 387 were not nearly good enough to pull that off.
 388
 389 &lt;p&gt;But thanks to the great inkscape community, I was able to wrap up
 390 the cover yesterday evening.  I asked on the
 391 &lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.freenode.net/%23inkscape&quot;&gt;#inkscape IRC channel&lt;/a&gt;
 392 on Freenode for help and clues, and Marc Jeanmougin (Mc-) volunteered
 393 to try to recreate it based on the PDF of the cover from the HTML
 394 version.  Not only did he create a
 395 &lt;a href=&quot;https://marc.jeanmougin.fr/share/copy1.svg &quot;&gt;SVG document with
 396 the original and his vector version side by side&lt;/a&gt;, he even provided
 397 an &lt;a href=&quot;https://marc.jeanmougin.fr/share/out-1.ogv&quot;&gt;instruction
 398 video&lt;/a&gt; explaining how he did it&lt;/a&gt;.  But the instruction video is
 399 not easy to follow for an untrained inkscape user. The video is a
 400 recording on how he did it, and he is obviously very experienced as
 401 the menu selections are very quick and he mentioned on IRC that he did
 402 use some keyboard shortcuts that can&#39;t be seen on the video, but it
 403 give a good idea about the inkscape operations to use to create the
 404 stripes with the embossed copyright sign in the center.&lt;/p&gt;
 405
 406 &lt;p&gt;I took his SVG file, copied the vector image and re-sized it to fit
 407 on the cover I was drawing.  I am happy with the end result, and the
 408 current english version look like this:&lt;/p&gt;
 409
 410 &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;
 411
 412 &lt;p&gt;I am not quite sure about the text on the back, but guess it will
 413 do.  I picked three quotes from the official site for the book, and
 414 hope it will work to trigger the interest of potential readers.  The
 415 Norwegian cover will look the same, but with the texts and bar code
 416 replaced with the Norwegian version.&lt;/p&gt;
 417
 418 &lt;p&gt;The book is very close to being ready for publication, and I expect
 419 to upload the final draft to Lulu in the next few days and order a
 420 final proof reading copy to verify that everything look like it should
 421 before allowing everyone to order their own copy of Free Culture, in
 422 English or Norwegian Bokmål.  I&#39;m waiting to give the the productive
 423 proof readers a chance to complete their work.&lt;/p&gt;

 431                 <pubDate>Wed, 19 Aug 2015 22:10:00 +0200</pubDate>
 432                 <description>&lt;p&gt;Today, finally, my first printed draft edition of the Norwegian
 433 translation of Free Culture I have been working on for the last few
 434 years arrived in the mail.  I had to fake a cover to get the interior
 435 printed, and the exterior of the book look awful, but that is
 436 irrelevant at this point.  I asked for a printed pocket book version
 437 to get an idea about the font sizes and paper format as well as how
 438 good the figures and images look in print, but also to test what the
 439 pocket book version would look like.  After receiving the 500 page
 440 pocket book, it became obvious to me that that pocket book size is too
 441 small for this book.  I believe the book is too thick, and several
 442 tables and figures do not look good in the size they get with that
 443 small page sizes.  I believe I will go with the 5.5x8.5 inch size
 444 instead.  A surprise discovery from the paper version was how bad the
 445 URLs look in print.  They are very hard to read in the colophon page.
 446 The URLs are red in the PDF, but light gray on paper.  I need to
 447 change the color of links somehow to look better.  But there is a
 448 printed book in my hand, and it feels great. :)&lt;/p&gt;
 449
 450 &lt;p&gt;Now I only need to fix the cover, wrap up the postscript with the
 451 store behind the book, and collect the last corrections from the proof
 452 readers before the book is ready for proper printing.  Cover artists
 453 willing to work for free and create a Creative Commons licensed vector
 454 file looking similar to the original is most welcome, as my skills as
 455 a graphics designer are mostly missing.&lt;/p&gt;

 464                 <description>&lt;p&gt;Typesetting a book is harder than I hoped.  As the translation is
 465 mostly done, and a volunteer proof reader was going to check the text
 466 on paper, it was time this summer to focus on formatting my translated
 467 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.docbook.org/&quot;&gt;docbook&lt;/a&gt; based version of the
 468 &lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt; book by Lawrence
 469 Lessig.  I&#39;ve been trying to get both docboox-xsl+fop and dblatex to
 470 give me a good looking PDF, but in the end I went with dblatex, because
 471 its Debian maintainer and upstream developer were responsive and very
 472 helpful in solving my formatting challenges.&lt;/p&gt;
 473
 474 &lt;p&gt;Last night, I finally managed to create a PDF that no longer made
 475 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lulu.com/&quot;&gt;Lulu.com&lt;/a&gt; complain after uploading,
 476 and I ordered a text version of the book on paper.  It is lacking a
 477 proper book cover and is not tagged with the correct ISBN number, but
 478 should give me an idea what the finished book will look like.&lt;/p&gt;
 479
 480 &lt;p&gt;Instead of using Lulu, I did consider printing the book using
 481 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.createspace.com/&quot;&gt;CreateSpace&lt;/a&gt;, but ended up
 482 using Lulu because it had smaller book size options (CreateSpace seem
 483 to lack pocket book with extended distribution).  I looked for a
 484 similar service in Norway, but have not seen anything so far.  Please
 485 let me know if I am missing out on something here.&lt;/p&gt;
 486
 487 &lt;p&gt;But I still struggle to decide the book size.  Should I go for
 488 pocket book (4.25x6.875 inches / 10.8x17.5 cm) with 556 pages, Digest
 489 (5.5x8.5 inches / 14x21.6 cm) with 323 pages or US Trade (6x8 inches /
 490 15.3x22.9 cm) with 280 pages?  Fewer pager give a cheaper book, and a
 491 smaller book is easier to carry around.  The test book I ordered was
 492 pocket book sized, to give me an idea how well that fit in my hand,
 493 but I suspect I will end up using a digest sized book in the end to
 494 bring the prize down further.&lt;/p&gt;
 495
 496 &lt;p&gt;My biggest challenge at the moment is making nice cover art.  My
 497 inkscape skills are not yet up to the task of replicating the original
 498 cover in SVG format.  I also need to figure out what to write about
 499 the book on the back (will most likely use the same text as the
 500 description on web based book stores).  I would love help with this,
 501 if you are willing to license the art source and final version using
 502 the same CC license as the book.  My artistic skills are not really up
 503 to the task.&lt;/p&gt;
 504
 505 &lt;p&gt;I plan to publish the book in both English and Norwegian and on
 506 paper, in PDF form as well as EPUB and MOBI format.  The current
 507 status can as usual be found on
 508 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;github&lt;/a&gt;
 509 in the archive/ directory.  So far I have spent all time on making the
 510 PDF version look good.  Someone should probably do the same with the
 511 dbtoepub generated e-book.  Help is definitely needed here, as I
 512 expect to run out of steem before I find time to improve the epub
 513 formatting.&lt;/p&gt;
 514
 515 &lt;p&gt;Please let me know via github if you find typos in the book or
 516 discover translations that should be improved.  The final proof
 517 reading is being done right now, and I expect to publish the finished
 518 result in a few months.&lt;/p&gt;

 526                 <pubDate>Thu, 16 Jul 2015 18:10:00 +0200</pubDate>
 527                 <description>&lt;p&gt;I&#39;m still working on the Norwegian version of the
 528 &lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture book by Lawrence
 529 Lessig&lt;/a&gt;, and is now working on the final typesetting and layout.
 530 One of the features I want to get the structure similar to the
 531 original book is to typeset the footnotes as endnotes in the notes
 532 chapter.  Based on the
 533 &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/685063&quot;&gt;feedback from the Debian
 534 maintainer and the dblatex developer&lt;/a&gt;, I came up with this recipe I
 535 would like to share with you.  The proposal was to create a new LaTeX
 536 class file and add the LaTeX code there, but this is not always
 537 practical, when I want to be able to replace the class using a make
 538 file variable.  So my proposal misuses the latex.begindocument XSL
 539 parameter value, to get a small fragment into the correct location in
 540 the generated LaTeX File.&lt;/p&gt;
 541
 542 &lt;p&gt;First, decide where in the DocBook document to place the endnotes,
 543 and add this text there:&lt;/p&gt;
 544
 545 &lt;pre&gt;
 546 &amp;lt;?latex \theendnotes ?&amp;gt;
 547 &lt;/pre&gt;
 548
 549 &lt;p&gt;Next, create a xsl stylesheet file dblatex-endnotes.xsl to add the
 550 code needed to add the endnote instructions in the preamble of the
 551 generated LaTeX document, with content like this:&lt;/p&gt;
 552
 553 &lt;pre&gt;
 554 &amp;lt;?xml version=&#39;1.0&#39;?&amp;gt;
 555 &amp;lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform&quot; version=&#39;1.0&#39;&amp;gt;
 556   &amp;lt;xsl:param name=&quot;latex.begindocument&quot;&amp;gt;
 557     &amp;lt;xsl:text&amp;gt;
 558 \usepackage{endnotes}
 559 \let\footnote=\endnote
 560 \def\enoteheading{\mbox{}\par\vskip-\baselineskip }
 561 \begin{document}
 562     &amp;lt;/xsl:text&amp;gt;
 563   &amp;lt;/xsl:param&amp;gt;
 564 &amp;lt;/xsl:stylesheet&amp;gt;
 565 &lt;/pre&gt;
 566
 567 &lt;p&gt;Finally, load this xsl file when running dblatex, for example like
 568 this:&lt;/p&gt;
 569
 570 &lt;pre&gt;
 571 dblatex --xsl-user=dblatex-endnotes.xsl freeculture.nb.xml
 572 &lt;/pre&gt;
 573
 574 &lt;p&gt;The end result can be seen on github, where
 575 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;my
 576 book project&lt;/a&gt; is located.&lt;/p&gt;

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

 610                 <description>&lt;p&gt;For noen dager siden
 611 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nb.no/Hva-skjer/Aktuelt/Nyheter/Tapt-filmskatt-fra-Disney-funnet-i-Nasjonalbiblioteket&quot;&gt;annonserte
 612 Nasjonalbiblioteket gladnyheten&lt;/a&gt; om at de i sine arkiver hadde
 613 funnet et nitratfilm-eksemplar av en 87 år gammel Disney-film ved navn
 614 Empty Socks, en film som tidligere var antatt tapt og der det i følge
 615 nyhetsmeldinger var kun ca. 25 sekunder bevart for ettertiden.
 616 Nasjonalbiblioteket hadde 5 minutter og 30 sekunder av filmen i sitt
 617 magasin.  Dette er flott for bevaringen av verdens kulturarv.  5,5
 618 minutter mindre tapt enn vi trodde av vår felles historie.&lt;/p&gt;
 619
 620 &lt;p&gt;Men hvordan kunne filmen gå tapt, når arkivlovene i USA krevde at
 621 publiserte filmer på den tiden ble deponert i bibliotek?  Forklaringen
 622 har jeg fra Lawrence Lessig og boken
 623 &lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt;, som jeg holder på
 624 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;å
 625 oversette til norsk&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
 626
 627 &lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
 628 &lt;p&gt;Dette er delvis på grunn av loven. Opphavsrettseiere var tidlig i
 629   amerikansk opphavsrettslov nødt til å deponere kopier av sine verk i
 630   biblioteker. Disse kopiene skulle både sikre spredning av kunnskap,
 631   og sikre at det fantes en kopi av verket tilgjengelig når vernetiden
 632   utløp, slik at andre kunne få tilgang til og kopiere verket.&lt;/p&gt;
 633
 634 &lt;p&gt;Disse reglene gjaldt også for filmer. Men i 1915 gjorde
 635   kongressbiblioteket et unntak for film. Filmer kunne bli
 636   opphavsrettsbeskyttet så lenge det ble gjort slik deponering. Men
 637   filmskaperne fikk så lov til å låne tilbake de deponerte filmene -
 638   så lenge de ville uten noe kostnad. Bare i 1915 var det mer enn 5475
 639   filmer deponert og “lånt tilbake”. Dermed var det ikke noe eksemplar
 640   i noe bibliotek når vernetiden til filmen utløp. Eksemplaret
 641   eksisterer - hvis den finnes i det hele tatt - i arkivbiblioteket
 642   til filmselskapet.&lt;/p&gt;
 643 &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 644
 645 &lt;p&gt;Nyheten gjorde meg nysgjerrig på om filmen kunne være falt i det
 646 fri.  En 87 år gammel film kunne jo tenkes å ha blitt en del av
 647 allemannseiet, slik at vi alle kan bruke den til å bygge videre på vår
 648 felles kultur uten å måtte be om tillatelse - slik Walt Disney gjorde
 649 det i starten av sin karriere.  Jeg spurte nasjonalbiblioteket, og de
 650 sa nei.  Hvordan kan det ha seg med en så gammel film?  Jeg besteme
 651 meg for å undersøke nærmere.  En kan finne informasjon om den norske
 652 vernetiden på
 653 &lt;a href=&quot;https://lovdata.no/dokument/NL/lov/1961-05-12-2&quot;&gt;Lovdata&lt;/a&gt;
 654 og &lt;/a&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/A&gt;.  Her er et relevant &lt;a
 655 href=&quot;https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opphavsrett#Vernetid&quot;&gt;utsnitt fra
 656 siden om opphavsrett i den norske Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
 657
 658 &lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
 659   Ifølge åndsverkloven §§ 40-41 utløper vernetiden for et åndsverk 70
 660   år etter utløpet av opphavspersonens dødsår.  [...]  For filmverk
 661   gjelder særlige regler: Her kommer ikke alle mulige opphavspersoner
 662   i betraktning, men kun hovedregissøren, manusforfatteren,
 663   dialogforfatteren og komponisten av filmmusikken. Vernetiden
 664   begynner å løpe etter utgangen av dødsåret til den lengstlevende av
 665   disse. [...] Der opphavspersonen er ukjent, utløper opphavsretten 70
 666   år etter første kjente offentliggjørelse av verket. Det er kun de
 667   økonomiske rettighetene som faller bort i det vernetiden er
 668   utløpt. De ideelle rettighetene må fortsatt respekteres, noe som
 669   blant annet innebærer at man plikter å navngi opphavspersonen ved
 670   tilgjengeliggjøring.
 671 &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 672
 673 &lt;p&gt;I følge nettstedet
 674 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.disneyshorts.org/shorts.aspx?shortID=75&quot;&gt;The
 675 Encyclopedia of Disney Animated Shorts&lt;/a&gt; er følgende personer gitt
 676 æren for denne kortfilmen:&lt;/p&gt;

 689 &lt;dd&gt;Mike Marcus (?-?)&lt;/dd&gt;
 690
 691 &lt;/dl&gt;
 692
 693 &lt;p&gt;Alle fødsels- og dødsdatoene er fra engelske Wikipedia.  Det er
 694 ikke oppgitt navn på manusforfatter, dialogforfatter og komponist, men
 695 jeg mistenker at tegnerne vil få opphavsrettigheter på tegnefilmer her
 696 i Norge, og tar derfor med disse.  Kameramannen vil ikke få noen
 697 rettigheter så vidt jeg forstår, og er derfor ignorert her.&lt;/p&gt;
 698
 699 &lt;p&gt;Slik jeg forstår den norske opphavsretten vil dermed dette
 700 filmverket bli allemannseie (også kalt å falle i det fri) i 2053, 126
 701 år etter at det ble utgitt.  Hvis kun regissørens rettigheter er
 702 relevante, vil det skje i 2037, 110 år etter at det ble utgitt.  Etter
 703 det vil enhver kunne dele det med alle de har lyst til, fremføre det
 704 offentlig eller klippe og lime i det for å lage sin egen film basert
 705 på det - helt uten å måtte spørre noen om lov.&lt;/p&gt;
 706
 707 &lt;p&gt;Måtte så Nasjonalbiblioteket spørre om lov før de kunne kopiere
 708 sitt nitrat-eksemplar over på mer varig format?  Nei, heldigvis.
 709 Åndsverklovens § 16 sier at arkiv, bibliotek, museer og undervisnings-
 710 og forskningsinstitusjoner har rett til å fremstille eksemplar av verk
 711 for konserverings- og sikringsformål og andre særskilte formål.&lt;/p&gt;

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

 753                 <pubDate>Fri, 2 Aug 2013 10:40:00 +0200</pubDate>
 754                 <description>&lt;p&gt;It has been a while since my last update.  Since last summer, I
 755 have worked on a Norwegian
 756 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.docbook.org/&quot;&gt;docbook&lt;/a&gt; version of the 2004 book
 757 &lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt; by Lawrence Lessig,
 758 to get a Norwegian text explaining the problems with the copyright
 759 law.  Yesterday, I finally broken the 90% mark, when counting the
 760 number of strings to translate.  Due to real life constraints, I have
 761 not had time to work on it since March, but when the summer broke out,
 762 I found time to work on it again.  Still lots of work left, but the
 763 first draft is nearing completion.  I created a graph to show the
 764 progress of the translation:&lt;/p&gt;
 765
 766 &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;
 767
 768 &lt;p&gt;When the first draft is done, the translated text need to be
 769 proof read, and the remaining formatting problems with images and SVG
 770 drawings need to be fixed.  There are probably also some index entries
 771 missing that need to be added.  This can be done by comparing the
 772 index entries listed in the SiSU version of the book, or comparing the
 773 English docbook version with the paper version.  Last, the colophon
 774 page with ISBN numbers etc need to be wrapped up before the release is
 775 done.  I should also figure out how to get correct Norwegian sorting
 776 of the index pages.  All docbook tools I have tried so far (xmlto,
 777 docbook-xsl, dblatex) get the order of symbols and the special
 778 Norwegian letters ÆØÅ wrong.&lt;/p&gt;
 779
 780 &lt;p&gt;There is still need for translators and people with docbook
 781 knowledge, to be able to get a good looking book (I still struggle
 782 with dblatex, xmlto and docbook-xsl) as well as to do the draft
 783 translation and proof reading.  And I would like the figures to be
 784 redrawn as SVGs to make it easy to translate them.  Any SVG master
 785 around?  There are also some legal terms that are unfamiliar to me.
 786 If you want to help, please get in touch with me, and check out the
 787 project files currently available from
 788 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;github&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
 789
 790 &lt;p&gt;If you are curious what the translated book currently look like,
 791 the updated
 792 &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;
 793 and
 794 &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;
 795 are published on github.  The HTML version is published as well, but
 796 github hand it out with MIME type text/plain, confusing browsers, so I
 797 saw no point in linking to that version.&lt;/p&gt;

 805                 <pubDate>Sun, 24 Mar 2013 17:30:00 +0100</pubDate>
 806                 <description>&lt;p&gt;A few days ago, during a discussion in
 807 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.efn.no/&quot;&gt;EFN&lt;/a&gt; about interesting books to read
 808 about copyright and the data retention directive, a suggestion to read
 809 the 1968 short story Kodémus by
 810 &lt;a href=&quot;http://web2.gyldendal.no/toraage/&quot;&gt;Tore Åge Bringsværd&lt;/a&gt;
 811 came up.  The text was only available in old paper books, and thus not
 812 easily available for current and future generations.  Some of the
 813 people participating in the discussion contacted the author, and
 814 reported back 2013-03-19 that the author was OK with releasing the
 815 short story using a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.creativecommons.org/&quot;&gt;Creative
 816 Commons&lt;/a&gt; license.  The text was quickly scanned and OCR-ed, and we
 817 were ready to start on the editing and typesetting.&lt;/p&gt;
 818
 819 &lt;p&gt;As I already had some experience formatting text in my project to
 820 provide a Norwegian version of the Free Culture book by Lawrence
 821 Lessig, I chipped in and set up a
 822 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.docbook.org/&quot;&gt;DocBook&lt;/a&gt; processing framework to
 823 generate PDF, HTML and EPUB version of the short story.  The tools to
 824 transform DocBook to different formats are already in my Linux
 825 distribution of choice, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.debian.org/&quot;&gt;Debian&lt;/a&gt;, so
 826 all I had to do was to use the
 827 &lt;a href=&quot;http://dblatex.sourceforge.net/&quot;&gt;dblatex&lt;/a&gt;,
 828 &lt;a href=&quot;http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/epub/README&quot;&gt;dbtoepub&lt;/a&gt;
 829 and &lt;a href=&quot;https://fedorahosted.org/xmlto/&quot;&gt;xmlto&lt;/a&gt; tools to do the
 830 conversion.  After a few days, we decided to replace dblatex with
 831 xsltproc/fop (aka
 832 &lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.docbook.org/DocBookXslStylesheets&quot;&gt;docbook-xsl&lt;/a&gt;),
 833 to get the copyright information to show up in the PDF and to get a
 834 nicer &amp;lt;variablelist&amp;gt; typesetting, but that is just a minor
 835 technical detail.&lt;/p&gt;
 836
 837 &lt;p&gt;There were a few challenges, of course.  We want to typeset the
 838 short story to look like the original, and that require fairly good
 839 control over the layout.  The original short story have three
 840 parts/scenes separated by a single horizontally centred star (*), and
 841 the paragraphs do not contain only flowing text, but dialogs and text
 842 that started on a new line in the middle of the paragraph.&lt;/p&gt;
 843
 844 &lt;p&gt;I initially solved the first challenge by using a paragraph with a
 845 single star in it, ie &amp;lt;para&amp;gt;*&amp;lt;/para&amp;gt;, but it made sure a
 846 placeholder indicated where the scene shifted.  This did not look too
 847 good without the centring.  The next approach was to create a new
 848 preprocessor directive &amp;lt;?newscene?&amp;gt;, mapping to &quot;&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&quot;
 849 for HTML and &quot;&amp;lt;fo:block text-align=&quot;center&quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;fo:leader
 850 leader-pattern=&quot;rule&quot; rule-thickness=&quot;0.5pt&quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/fo:block&amp;gt;&quot;
 851 for FO/PDF output (did not try to implement this in dblatex, as we had
 852 switched at this time).  The HTML XSL file looked like this:&lt;/p&gt;
 853
 854 &lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
 855 &amp;lt;?xml version=&#39;1.0&#39;?&amp;gt;
 856 &amp;lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform&quot; version=&#39;1.0&#39;&amp;gt;
 857   &amp;lt;xsl:template match=&quot;processing-instruction(&#39;newscene&#39;)&quot;&amp;gt;
 858     &amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;
 859   &amp;lt;/xsl:template&amp;gt;
 860 &amp;lt;/xsl:stylesheet&amp;gt;
 861 &lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 862
 863 &lt;p&gt;And the FO/PDF XSL file looked like this:&lt;/p&gt;
 864
 865 &lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
 866 &amp;lt;?xml version=&#39;1.0&#39;?&amp;gt;
 867 &amp;lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform&quot; version=&#39;1.0&#39;&amp;gt;
 868   &amp;lt;xsl:template match=&quot;processing-instruction(&#39;newscene&#39;)&quot;&amp;gt;
 869     &amp;lt;fo:block text-align=&quot;center&quot;&amp;gt;
 870       &amp;lt;fo:leader leader-pattern=&quot;rule&quot; rule-thickness=&quot;0.5pt&quot;/&amp;gt;
 871     &amp;lt;/fo:block&amp;gt;
 872   &amp;lt;/xsl:template&amp;gt;
 873 &amp;lt;/xsl:stylesheet&amp;gt;
 874 &lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 875
 876 &lt;p&gt;Finally, I came across the &amp;lt;bridgehead&amp;gt; tag, which seem to be
 877 a good fit for the task at hand, and I replaced &amp;lt;?newscene?&amp;gt;
 878 with &amp;lt;bridgehead&amp;gt;*&amp;lt;/bridgehead&amp;gt;.  It isn&#39;t centred, but we
 879 can fix it with some XSL rule if the current visual layout isn&#39;t
 880 enough.&lt;/p&gt;
 881
 882 &lt;p&gt;I did not find a good DocBook compliant way to solve the
 883 linebreak/paragraph challenge, so I ended up creating a new processor
 884 directive &amp;lt;?linebreak?&amp;gt;, mapping to &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; in HTML, and
 885 &amp;lt;fo:block/&amp;gt; in FO/PDF.  I suspect there are better ways to do
 886 this, and welcome ideas and patches on github.  The HTML XSL file now
 887 look like this:&lt;/p&gt;
 888
 889 &lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
 890 &amp;lt;?xml version=&#39;1.0&#39;?&amp;gt;
 891 &amp;lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform&quot; version=&#39;1.0&#39;&amp;gt;
 892   &amp;lt;xsl:template match=&quot;processing-instruction(&#39;linebreak)&quot;&amp;gt;
 893     &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;
 894   &amp;lt;/xsl:template&amp;gt;
 895 &amp;lt;/xsl:stylesheet&amp;gt;
 896 &lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 897
 898 &lt;p&gt;And the FO/PDF XSL file looked like this:&lt;/p&gt;
 899
 900 &lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
 901 &amp;lt;?xml version=&#39;1.0&#39;?&amp;gt;

 910 &lt;p&gt;One unsolved challenge is our wish to expose different ISBN numbers
 911 per publication format, while keeping all of them in some conditional
 912 structure in the DocBook source.  No idea how to do this, so we ended
 913 up listing all the ISBN numbers next to their format in the colophon
 914 page.&lt;/p&gt;

 921 days.&lt;/p&gt;

 927                 <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Piratpartiet_p__opphavs_retrett_.html</link>
 928                 <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Piratpartiet_p__opphavs_retrett_.html</guid>
 929                 <pubDate>Wed, 19 Dec 2012 13:10:00 +0100</pubDate>
 930                 <description>&lt;p&gt;Jeg ble overrasket over å se at Piratpartiet i
 931 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aftenposten.no/kultur/Piratpartiet-stiller-til-Stortingsvalget-7073298.html&quot;&gt;Aftenposten&lt;/a&gt;
 932 er referert på følgende:&lt;/p&gt;
 933
 934 &lt;blockquote&gt;
 935 Når det gjelder retten til opphavsrett for kulturproduktene, mener
 936 Piratpartiet av levetid + 14 år er tilfredsstillende.
 937 &lt;/blockquote&gt;
 938
 939 &lt;p&gt;Det betyr en vernetid langt ut over det kommersielle livet til de
 940 aller fleste opphavsrettsbeskyttede verker, og er i strid med slik i
 941 hvert fall jeg har tolket punkt 5 i
 942 &lt;a href=&quot;http://people.opera.com/howcome/2012/piratpartiet/kjerneprogram.html&quot;&gt;kjerneprogrammet
 943 til Piratpartiet&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
 944
 945 &lt;blockquote&gt;
 946 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5: Åndsverk og patenter: tilbake til start&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 947
 948 &lt;table border=&quot;1&quot;&gt;
 949 &lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;forslag:&lt;/th&gt;&lt;td&gt;14 års opphavsrett og ingen
 950 programvarepatenter&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
 951
 952 &lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;grunn:&lt;/th&gt;&lt;td&gt;Den første loven om opphavsrett spesifiserte 14
 953 års vernetid. Senere har mediabransjens lobbyister stadig presset
 954 loven mot lengre vern, nå er det 70 år etter forfatters død. Dette
 955 gjør at mange verk glemmes og går tapt, noe som er skadelig for norsk
 956 språk og kultur. Vi til tilbake til start: 14 års
 957 vernetid. Patentloven sier klart at dataprogrammer ikke kan
 958 patenteres. Likevel klarer patentadvokater å lure gjennom
 959 programvarepatenter. Slike patenter gjør dingsene våre dyrere og kan i
 960 enkelte tilfelle stoppe dem helt.&lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
 961 &lt;/table&gt;
 962 &lt;/blockquote&gt;
 963
 964 &lt;p&gt;Den opprinnelige opphavsretten var på 14 år totalt, ikke 14 år
 965 etter opphavspersonens død.  Jeg tenkte først dette kanskje var
 966 feilsitering fra Aftenposten, men jeg finner samme påstand i en &lt;a
 967 href=&quot;http://piratpartietnorge.org/om-gramo-og-piratpolitikken/&quot;&gt;bloggpost
 968 fra Geir Aaslid&lt;/a&gt; på Piratpartietes offisielle nettsider.  Der
 969 skriver han følgende:&lt;/p&gt;
 970
 971 &lt;blockquote&gt;
 972 Hva vi gjør med opphavsretten er mer komplisert fordi den omfavner så
 973 mange bransjer, med ulike behov. Enhver reform er en forbedring men
 974 det er nærliggende å anta at en opphavsrett på levetid + 14 år er
 975 fullt ut tilfredstillende for musikk, film, litteratur og spill.
 976 &lt;/blockquote&gt;
 977
 978 &lt;p&gt;Det virker dermed på meg som om Piratpartiet allerede har gjort
 979 retrett fra sin beundringsverdige holdning om at det holdt med 14 års
 980 total vernetid, til sin nye som tar utgangspunkt i levetiden til
 981 opphavspersonen.  Jeg håper det baserer seg på en misforståelse hos
 982 piratlederen som blir korrigert tilbake til 14 års total vernetid før
 983 partiet stiller til valg.&lt;/p&gt;
 984
 985 &lt;p&gt;Hvis du lurer på hvilke problemer lang vernetid bringer med seg,
 986 anbefaler jeg å lese boken &lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free
 987 Culture&lt;/a&gt; av Lawrence Lessig.  Jeg og en liten gruppe andre er igang
 988 med å
 989 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;oversette
 990 boken til bokmål&lt;/a&gt; og tar gjerne imot hjelp med oversettelse og
 991 korrekturlesing.&lt;/p&gt;
 992
 993 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Oppdatering 2012-12-20&lt;/strong&gt;: Oppdaget at
 994 &lt;a href=&quot;http://piratpartietnorge.org/om-gramo-og-piratpolitikken/&quot;&gt;bloggposten
 995 til Geir Aaslid&lt;/a&gt; er endret siden i går, og nå inneholder følgende
 996 avsnitt i stedet for det jeg siterte over:&lt;/p&gt;
 997
 998 &lt;blockquote&gt;
 999 Hva vi gjør med opphavsretten er mer komplisert fordi den omfavner så
1000 mange bransjer, med ulike behov. Enhver reform er en forbedring men
1001 det er nærliggende å anta at en opphavsrett lik levetiden, evt + 14 år
1002 er fullt ut tilfredstillende for mange skapere av musikk, film,
1003 litteratur og spill. Det er for det meste de store forlagene som er
1004 imot enhver reform.
1005 &lt;/blockquote&gt;
1006
1007 &lt;p&gt;I tillegg har det dukket opp en setning nederst &quot;Dette dokumentet
1008 er et utkast til svar på et angrep på Piratpartiet fra Gramo. Det
1009 endrer seg derfor over tid og den endelige versjonen er det som blir
1010 publisert på Hardware.no&quot;, som tyder på at originalformuleringen ikke
1011 var veloverveid og sitatet i Aftenposten kanskje var basert på en
1012 misforståelse.&lt;/p&gt;

1020                 <pubDate>Sat, 17 Nov 2012 11:30:00 +0100</pubDate>
1021                 <description>&lt;p&gt;While working on a
1022 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;Norwegian
1023 translation of the Free Culture by Lawrence Lessig&lt;/a&gt; (76% done),
1024 which cover the problems with todays copyright law and how it stifles
1025 creativity, one idea occurred to me.  The idea is to get the tax
1026 office to help make more works enter the public domain and also help
1027 make it easier to clear rights for using copyrighted works.&lt;/p&gt;
1028
1029 &lt;p&gt;I mentioned this idea briefly during Yesterdays
1030 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.farmann.no/2012/11/14/john-perry-barlow-in-oslo-friday-nov-16
1031 -15-30-19-00/&quot;&gt;presentation
1032 by John Perry Barlow&lt;/a&gt;, and concluded that it was best to put it
1033 in writing for a wider audience.  The idea is not really based on the
1034 argument that copyrighted works are &quot;intellectual property&quot;, as the
1035 core requirement is that copyrighted work have value for the copyright
1036 holder and the tax office like to collect their share from any value
1037 controlled by the citizens in a country.  I&#39;m sharing the idea here to
1038 let others consider it and perhaps shoot it down with a fresh set of
1039 arguments.&lt;/p&gt;
1040
1041 &lt;p&gt;Most valuables are taxed by the government.  At least here in
1042 Norway, the amount of money you have, the value of our land property,
1043 the value of your house, the value of your car, the value of our
1044 stocks and other valuables are all added together.  If the tax value
1045 of these values exceed your debt, you have to pay the tax office some
1046 taxes for these values.  And copyrighted work have value.  It have
1047 value for the rights holder, who can earn money selling access to the
1048 work.  But it is not included in the tax calculations?  Why not?&lt;/p&gt;
1049
1050 &lt;p&gt;If the government want to tax copyrighted works, it would want to
1051 maintain a database of all the copyrighted works and who are the
1052 rights holders for a given works, to be able to associate the works
1053 value to the right citizen or company for tax purposes.  If such
1054 database exist, it will become a lot easier to find out who to talk to
1055 for clearing permissions to use a copyrighted work, which is a very
1056 hard operation with todays copyright law.  To ensure that copyright
1057 holders keep the database up-to-date, it would have to become a
1058 requirement to be able to collect money for granting access to
1059 copyrighted works that the work is listed in the database with the
1060 correct right holder.&lt;/p&gt;
1061
1062 &lt;p&gt;If copyright causes copyright holders to have to pay more taxes,
1063 they will have a small incentive to &quot;disown&quot; their copyright, and let
1064 the work enter the public domain. For works with several right holders
1065 one of the right holders could state (and get it registered in the
1066 database) that she do not need to be consulted when clearing rights to
1067 use the work in question and thus will not get any income from that
1068 work.  Stating this would have to be impossible to revert and stop the
1069 tax office from adding the value of that work to the given citizens
1070 tax calculation.  I assume the copyright law would stay the same,
1071 allowing creators to pick a license of their choosing, and also
1072 allowing them to put their work directly in the public domain.  The
1073 existence of such database will make it even easier to clear rights,
1074 and if the right holders listed in the database is taxed, this system
1075 would increase the amount of works that enter the public domain.&lt;/p&gt;
1076
1077 &lt;p&gt;The effect would be that the tax office help to make it easier to
1078 get rights to use the works that have not yet entered the public
1079 domain and help to get more work into the public domain and .&lt;/p&gt;
1080
1081 &lt;p&gt;Why have such taxing not happened yet?  I am sure the tax office
1082 would like to tax copyrighted work values if they could.&lt;/p&gt;

1090                 <pubDate>Sun, 23 Sep 2012 09:30:00 +0200</pubDate>
1091                 <description>&lt;p&gt;Since this summer, I have worked in my spare time on a Norwegian &lt;a
1092 href=&quot;http://www.docbook.org/&quot;&gt;docbook&lt;/a&gt; version of the 2004 book &lt;a
1093 href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt; by Lawrence Lessig.
1094 The reason is that this book is a great primer on what problems exist
1095 in the current copyright laws, and I want it to be available also for
1096 those that are reluctant do read an English book.
1097
1098 When I started, I
1099 &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
1100 for volunteers&lt;/a&gt; to help me, but too few have volunteered so far,
1101 and progress is a bit slow.  Anyway, today I broken the 70 percent
1102 mark for the first rough translation.  At the moment, less than 700
1103 strings (paragraphs, index terms, titles) are left to translate.  With
1104 my current progress of 10-20 strings per day, it will take a while to
1105 complete the translation.  This graph show the updated progress:&lt;/p&gt;

1107 &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;
1108
1109 &lt;p&gt;Progress have slowed down lately due to family and work
1110 commitments.  If you want to help, please get in touch, and check out
1111 the project files currently available from
1112 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;github&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
1113
1114 &lt;p&gt;If you are curious what the translated book currently look like,
1115 the updated
1116 &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;
1117 and
1118 &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;
1119 are published on github.  The HTML version is published as well, but
1120 github hand it out with MIME type text/plain, confusing browsers, so I
1121 saw no point in linking to that version.&lt;/p&gt;

1130                 <description>&lt;p&gt;In my spare time, I currently work on a Norwegian
1131 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.docbook.org/&quot;&gt;docbook&lt;/a&gt; version of the 2004 book
1132 &lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt; by Lawrence Lessig,
1133 to get a Norwegian text explaining the problems with the copyright law
1134 I can give to my parents and others that are reluctant to read an
1135 English book.  It is a marvellous set of examples on how the ever
1136 expanding copyright regulations hurt culture and society.  When the
1137 translation is done, I hope to find funding to print and ship a copy
1138 to all the members of the Norwegian parliament, before they sit down
1139 to debate the latest revisions to the Norwegian copyright law.  This
1140 summer I
1141 &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
1142 for volunteers&lt;/a&gt; to help me, and I have been able to secure the
1143 valuable contribution from at least one other Norwegian.&lt;/p&gt;
1144
1145 &lt;p&gt;Two days ago, we finally broke the 50% mark.  Then more than 50% of
1146 the number of strings to translate (normally paragraphs, but also
1147 titles and index entries are also counted).  All parts from the
1148 beginning up to and including chapter four is translated.  So is
1149 chapters six, seven and the conclusion.  I created a graph to show the
1150 progress:&lt;/p&gt;
1151
1152 &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;
1153
1154 &lt;p&gt;The number of strings to translate increase as I insert the index
1155 entries into the docbook.  They were missing with the docbook version
1156 I initially started with.  There are still quite a few index entries
1157 missing, but everyone starting with A, B, O, Z and Y are done.  I
1158 currently focus on completing the index entries, to get a complete
1159 english version of the docbook source.&lt;/p&gt;
1160
1161 &lt;p&gt;There is still need for translators and people with docbook
1162 knowledge, to be able to get a good looking book (I still struggle
1163 with dblatex, xmlto and docbook-xsl) as well as to do the draft
1164 translation and proof reading.  And I would like the figures to be
1165 redrawn as SVGs to make it easy to translate them.  Any SVG master
1166 around?  I am sure there are some legal terms that are unfamiliar to
1167 me.  If you want to help, please get in touch, and check out the
1168 project files currently available from &lt;a
1169 href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;github&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

1171 &lt;p&gt;If you are curious what the translated book currently look like,
1172 the updated

1184                 <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Notes_on_language_codes_for_Norwegian_docbook_processing___.html</link>
1185                 <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Notes_on_language_codes_for_Norwegian_docbook_processing___.html</guid>

1187                 <description>&lt;p&gt;In &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.docbook.org/&quot;&gt;docbook&lt;/a&gt; one can specify
1188 the language used at the top, and the processing pipeline will use
1189 this information to pick the correct translations for &#39;chapter&#39;, &#39;see
1190 also&#39;, &#39;index&#39; etc.  And for most languages used with docbook, I guess
1191 this work just fine.  For example a German user can start the document
1192 with &amp;lt;book lang=&quot;de&quot;&amp;gt;, and the document will show up with the
1193 correct content with any of the docbook processors.  This is not the
1194 case for the language
1195 &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
1196 am working with at the moment&lt;/a&gt;, Norwegian Bokmål.&lt;/p&gt;
1197
1198 &lt;p&gt;For a while, I was confused about which language code to use,
1199 because I was unable to find any language code that would work across
1200 all tools.  I am currently testing dblatex, xmlto, docbook-xsl, and
1201 dbtoepub, and they do not handle Norwegian Bokmål the same way.  Some
1202 of them do not handle it at all.&lt;/p&gt;
1203
1204 &lt;p&gt;A bit of background information is probably needed to understand
1205 this mess.  Norwegian is not one, but two written variants.  The
1206 variants are Norwegian Nynorsk and Norwegian Bokmål.  There are three
1207 two letter language codes associated with these languages, Norwegian
1208 is &#39;no&#39;, Norwegian Nynorsk is &#39;nn&#39; and Norwegian Bokmål is &#39;nb&#39;.
1209 Historically the &#39;no&#39; language code was used for Norwegian Bokmål, but
1210 many years ago this was found to be å bad idea, and the recommendation
1211 is to use the most specific language code instead, to avoid confusion.
1212 In the transition period it is a good idea to make sure &#39;no&#39; was an
1213 alias for &#39;nb&#39;.&lt;/p&gt;
1214
1215 &lt;p&gt;Back to docbook processing tools in Debian.  The dblatex tool only
1216 understand &#39;nn&#39;.  There are translations for &#39;no&#39;, but not &#39;nb&#39; (BTS
1217 &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/684391&quot;&gt;#684391&lt;/a&gt;), but due to a bug
1218 (BTS &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/682936&quot;&gt;#682936&lt;/a&gt;) the &#39;no&#39;
1219 language code is not recognised.  The docbook-xsl tool chain only
1220 recognise &#39;nn&#39; and &#39;nb&#39;, but not &#39;no&#39;.  The xmlto tool only recognise
1221 &#39;nn&#39; and &#39;nb&#39;, but not &#39;no&#39;.  The end result that there is no language
1222 code I can use to get the docbook file working with all of these tools
1223 at the same time. :(&lt;/p&gt;
1224
1225 &lt;p&gt;The correct solution is to use &amp;lt;book lang=&quot;nb&quot;&amp;gt;, but it will
1226 take time before that will work with all the free software docbook
1227 processors. :(&lt;/p&gt;
1228
1229 &lt;p&gt;Oh, the joy of well integrated tools. :/&lt;/p&gt;

1237                 <pubDate>Tue, 31 Jul 2012 22:00:00 +0200</pubDate>
1238                 <description>&lt;p&gt;I tried to send this text to the
1239 &lt;a href=&quot;https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/&quot;&gt;docbook-apps
1240 mailing list at lists.oasis-open.org&lt;/a&gt;, but it only accept messages
1241 from subscribers and rejected my post, and I completely lack the
1242 bandwidth required to subscribe to another mailing list, so instead I
1243 try to post my message here and hope my blog readers can help me
1244 out.&lt;/p&gt;
1245
1246 &lt;p&gt;I am quite new to docbook processing, and am climbing a steep
1247 learning curve at the moment.&lt;/p&gt;
1248
1249 &lt;p&gt;To give you some background, I am working on a Norwegian
1250 translation of the book Free Culture by Lawrence Lessig, and I use
1251 docbook to handle the process.  The files to build the book are
1252 available from
1253 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;github&lt;/a&gt;.
1254 The book got around 400 pages with parts, images, footnotes, tables,
1255 index entries etc, which has proven to be a challenge for the free
1256 software docbook processors.  My build platform is Debian GNU/Linux
1257 Squeeze.&lt;/p&gt;
1258
1259 &lt;p&gt;I want to build PDF, EPUB and HTML version of the book, and have
1260 tried different tool chains to do the conversion from docbook to these
1261 formats.  I am currently focusing on the PDF version, and have a few
1262 problems.&lt;/p&gt;
1263
1264 &lt;ul&gt;
1265
1266 &lt;li&gt;Using dblatex, the &amp;lt;part&amp;gt; handling is not the way I want to,
1267    as &amp;lt;/part&amp;gt; do not really end the &amp;lt;part&amp;gt;. (See
1268    &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/683166&quot;&gt;BTS report #683166&lt;/a&gt;), the
1269    xetex backend (needed to process UTF-8) give incorrect hyphens in
1270    index references spanning several pages (See
1271    &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/682901&quot;&gt;BTS report #682901&lt;/a&gt;), and
1272    I am unable to get the norwegian template texts (See
1273    &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/682936&quot;&gt;BTS report #682936&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/li&gt;
1274
1275 &lt;li&gt;Using straight xmlto fail with some latex error (See
1276    &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/683163&quot;&gt;BTS report
1277    #683163&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/li&gt;
1278
1279 &lt;li&gt;Using xmlto with the fop backend fail to handle images (do not
1280    show up in the PDF), fail to handle a long footnote (overlap
1281    footnote and text body, see
1282    &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/683197&quot;&gt;BTS report #683197&lt;/a&gt;), and
1283    fail to create a correct index (some lack page ref, and the page
1284    refs listed are not right).&lt;/li&gt;
1285
1286 &lt;li&gt;Using xmlto with the dblatex backend behave like dblatex.&lt;/li&gt;
1287
1288 &lt;li&gt;Using docbook-xls with xsltproc + fop have the same footnote and
1289    index problems the xmlto + fop processing.&lt;/li&gt;
1290
1291 &lt;/ul&gt;
1292
1293 &lt;p&gt;So I wonder, what would be the best way to create the PDF version
1294 of this book?  Are some of the bugs found above solved in new or
1295 experimental versions of some docbook tool chain?&lt;/p&gt;
1296
1297 &lt;p&gt;What about HTML and EPUB versions?&lt;/p&gt;

1306                 <description>&lt;p&gt;I reported earlier that I am working on
1307 &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
1308 norwegian version&lt;/a&gt; of the book
1309 &lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt; by Lawrence Lessig.
1310 Progress is good, and yesterday I got a major contribution from Anders
1311 Hagen Jarmund completing chapter six.  The source files as well as a
1312 PDF and EPUB version of this book are available from
1313 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;github&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
1314
1315 &lt;p&gt;I am happy to report that the draft for the first two chapters
1316 (preface, introduction) is complete, and three other chapters are also
1317 completely translated.  This completes 26 percent of the number of
1318 strings (equivalent to paragraphs) in the book, and there is thus 74
1319 percent left to translate.  A graph of the progress is present at the
1320 bottom of the github project page.  There is still room for more
1321 contributors.  Get in touch or send github pull requests with fixes if
1322 you got time and are willing to help make this book make it to
1323 print. :)&lt;/p&gt;
1324
1325 &lt;p&gt;The book translation framework could also be a good basis for other
1326 translations, if you want the book to be available in your
1327 language.&lt;/p&gt;

1335                 <pubDate>Mon, 16 Jul 2012 22:50:00 +0200</pubDate>
1336                 <description>&lt;p&gt;I am currently working on a
1337 &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
1338 to translate&lt;/a&gt; the book
1339 &lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt; by Lawrence Lessig
1340 to Norwegian.  And the source we base our translation on is the
1341 &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DocBook&quot;&gt;docbook&lt;/a&gt; version, to
1342 allow us to use po4a and .po files to handle the translation, and for
1343 this to work well the docbook source document need to be properly
1344 tagged.  The source files of this project is available from
1345 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;github&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
1346
1347 &lt;p&gt;The problem is that the docbook source have flaws, and we have
1348 no-one involved in the project that is a docbook expert.  Is there a
1349 docbook expert somewhere that is interested in helping us create a
1350 well tagged docbook version of the book, and adjust our build process
1351 for the PDF, EPUB and HTML version of the book?  This will provide a
1352 well tagged English version (our source document), and make it a lot
1353 easier for us to create a good Norwegian version.  If you can and want
1354 to help, please get in touch with me or fork the github project and
1355 send pull requests with fixes. :)&lt;/p&gt;

1361                 <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Fri_programvare____fri__som_i__talefrihet___ikke_som_i__fri_bar_.html</link>

1363                 <pubDate>Sun, 15 Jul 2012 21:20:00 +0200</pubDate>
1364                 <description>&lt;p&gt;Et ofte brukt sitat i fri programvareverden er Stallman-sitatet
1365 «&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html.en&quot;&gt;Free Software,
1366 &quot;free&quot; as in &quot;free speech&quot;, not as in &quot;free beer&quot;&lt;/a&gt;».  Men det er
1367 ikke direkte overførbart til norsk, da det baserer seg på koblingen
1368 gratis/fri på engelsk.  En direkte oversettelse ville være «Fri
1369 programvare, &quot;fri&quot; som i &quot;talefrihet&quot;, ikke som &quot;gratis øl&quot;», og det
1370 går jo glipp av poenget.  I forbindelse med at vi er
1371 &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
1372 med å oversette&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt;
1373 av Lawrence Lessig, måtte jeg forsøke a finne en bedre
1374 oversettelse.&lt;/p&gt;
1375
1376 &lt;p&gt;Mitt forslag til oversettelse blir dermed å droppe ølet, og heller
1377 fokusere på det kjente norske uttrykket &quot;fri bar&quot;.  Dermed blir
1378 oversettelsen «Fri programvare - &quot;fri&quot; som i &quot;talefrihet&quot;, ikke som i
1379 &quot;fri bar&quot;».&lt;/p&gt;
1380
1381 &lt;p&gt;Noen som har bedre forslag?&lt;/p&gt;
1382
1383 &lt;p&gt;Forøvrig bruker jeg fri programvare som et samlebegrep på norsk for
1384 begge de engelske uttrykkene Free Software og Open Source, jamfør
1385 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/dokumenter/folder-friprogramvare.pdf&quot;&gt;NUUGs
1386 lille folder om temaet&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

1395                 <description>&lt;p&gt;Da opphavsrettsloven ble revidert i forrige runde rundt 2005, var
1396 det skummelt å se hvor lite stortingsrepresentantene forsto hvordan
1397 Internet påvirket folks forhold til kulturuttrykk, og min venn Vidar
1398 og jeg spekulert på at det hadde kanskje vært fornuftig om samtlige
1399 representanter fikk en norsk utgave av boken
1400 &lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt; av Lawrence Lessig
1401 som forklarte litt om problemstillingene.  Vi endte opp med å
1402 prioritere utvikling i
1403 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;-prosjektet i
1404 stedet, så den oversatte boken så aldri dagens lys.  Men i forrige uke
1405 ble jeg inspirert til å ta opp tråden og se om det er mulig å få til
1406 bokprosjektet denne gang, da det er tydelig at kulturdepartementet i
1407 sitt nye forsøk på å gjøre opphavsrettsloven enda mer ubalansert til
1408 fordel for forlag og store mediehus fortsatt trenger en annen vinkling
1409 i debatten.&lt;/p&gt;
1410
1411 &lt;p&gt;Planen min er å oversette boka på dugnad, sette den opp for
1412 trykking med en av de mange
1413 &lt;a href=&quot;http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trykk_på_forespørsel&quot;&gt;trykk på
1414 forespørsel&lt;/a&gt;-tjenestene, skaffe sponsor til å finansiere trykking
1415 til stortingsrepresentantene og alle som har bidratt med
1416 oversettelser.  Kanskje vi også kan få en avtale med et forlag om
1417 publisering når boka er ferdig?  Kommentarene til
1418 &lt;a href=&quot;http://newth.net/eirik/2011/04/01/e-selvpublisering/&quot;&gt;Eirik
1419 Newth&lt;/a&gt; og
1420 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.espen.com/norskblogg/archives/2008/09/erfaringer_med_publishing_on_demand.html&quot;&gt;Espen
1421 Andersen&lt;/a&gt; om erfaringene med selvpublisering og trykk på
1422 forespørsel er interessante og ikke avskrekkende, og jeg mistenker at
1423 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lulu.com/&quot;&gt;Lulu&lt;/a&gt; er en grei leverandør av
1424 trykketjenester til prosjektet.&lt;/p&gt;
1425
1426 &lt;p&gt;Jeg har satt opp
1427 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;et
1428 Github-prosjekt&lt;/a&gt; for a lage boken, basert på Docbook-utgaven jeg
1429 fant fra Hans Schou.  Skolelinux har hatt byggesystem for å lage
1430 oversatt HTML og PDF-utgave av Docbook-bøker i en årrekke, så jeg har
1431 kopiert og utvidet dette oppsettet.  Originalteksten er i Docbook, og
1432 oversettelsen gjøres i .po-filer med hjelp av vanlige
1433 oversetterverktøy brukt i fri programvareverden.  Dernest tar
1434 byggesystemet over og lager PDF og EPUB-utgave av den oversatte
1435 teksten.  Resultatet kan ses i Github-prosjektet.  For å komme raskt
1436 igang har jeg brukt maskinoversettelse av alle tekstbitene fra engelsk
1437 til norsk, noe som grovoversatte ca. 1300 av de ca. 1700 tekstbitene
1438 boken består av.  Jeg håper nå at flere kan bidra med å få
1439 oversettelsen på plass, slik at teksten kan være klar i løpet av
1440 høsten.  Når alt er oversatt må teksten gjennomgås for feil og
1441 konsistent språk.  Totalt er det nok mange timer som trengs for å
1442 gjennomføre oversettelsen.&lt;/p&gt;
1443
1444 &lt;p&gt;Økonomien i dette er ikke avskrekkende.  169
1445 stortingsrepresentanter og nesten like mange varamedlemmer bør få
1446 bøker, og estimert produduksjonskostnad for hver bok er rundt 6 EURO i
1447 følge et raskt estimat fra Lulu.  Jeg vet ennå ikke hvor mange sider
1448 det blir i størrelsen 5,5&quot; x 8.5&quot; (det er ca. 140 sider i A4-format),
1449 så jeg gjettet på 400 sider.  Jeg tror originalutgaven har nesten 400
1450 sider.  For 169*2 eksemplarer snakker vi om en trykkekostnad på
1451 ca. 2000 EURO, dvs. ca 15 000 NOK.  Det burde være mulig å finne en
1452 sponsor for å dekke en slik sum.  I tillegg kommer distribusjon og
1453 porto, som antagelig kommer på like mye.&lt;/p&gt;
1454
1455 &lt;p&gt;Kan du bidra med oversettelse og docbook-typesetting?  Ta kontakt
1456 og send patcher i github.  Jeg legger gjerne inn folk i prosjektet
1457 slik at du kan oppdatere direkte.&lt;/p&gt;
