Okay. I had a wrong impression about what "utility" was in the case of copyright. My impression is that for a repository site the important part is not the design. The important part is the design document that is stored and indexed and published through the repository. The creator has a copyright on the document and can license the use of that document including how transformations into otherby MarcusWolschon - Object repositories
Re: Keep it GPL! - 11 years ago
"as long as they don't claim my design as theirs" You haven't (and in my jurisdiction you can't) given up your moral rights on your design. I'm not sure the dictiction between "utility works" and "creative works" exists over here. I guess that's a common law thing. As long as a design has sufficient originality and is thus not trivial.

Re: Keep it GPL! - 11 years ago
GPL is simple made for software and doesn't map to designs of physical objects at all. Creative Commons are made for content and map better but not perfect. We simply don't have a widespread license for designs yet. If you want something specific, you have to write your own license for your design.by MarcusWolschon - Object repositories
Re: Homeprototypes: storage via git - 11 years ago
Can someone experiment with ? (using the github API via CURL) I don't have time for a few days. We need to find a way to * list files and directories of a project in HEAD * get http URLs for these raw files. (So we can put these URLs in <a href="... for people to download files of a design)by MarcusWolschon - Object repositories
Re: Homeprototypes: storage via git - 11 years ago
php-git2 doesn't seem to work. It can only fetch remote repositories to a local repository. Any other php git libraries that can actually explore a remote git repository to find all nodes(files) and their http URLs? When limiting to Github there's problems too: "PHP GitHub API" doesn't give access to trees and blobs = we can't get the list of files. Same for the "GitHub Kohana Module" "Gby MarcusWolschon - Object repositories

Homeprototypes: storage via git - 11 years ago
We're still gathering people and brainstorming about an alternative design hosting site. Name for now is "Homeprototype.org" (Already reserved the domains, so they can't be taken). One of the main point is, where to store all the designs and images. ( ) Please store all options, pro and contra arguments in the wiki, so they don't get lost in a lengthy discussion and we can at one point vote tby MarcusWolschon - Object repositories

Re: Keep it GPL! - 11 years ago
Creative commons is thinking about the issue and for the time being applies quite well if you designate a physical object as just another manifestation of the design. Back to topic, since the user of the site is free to choose the license, one just has to be sure to not force the user to grant any permission or use any permission that isn't covered in the license.

Re: Homeprototypes: use of MediaGoblin? - 11 years ago
Programming the graph of parent- and child design isn't more then 2-3 hours of work. A good actual storage system for the files and images is a real issue. For a federated storage think "replication" and streaming the content directly from the storage node without wasting bandwidth on the web-server. An alternative to a federated storage could be a tight integration of Amazon S3 instead.by MarcusWolschon - Object repositories
Re: Homeprototypes: use of MediaGoblin? - 11 years ago
Insted of modifying MediaGoblin I added some more code to the scaffolding. The 3D view of STL files doesn't yet work. Probably due to cross-domain URLs used in testing. a design: a design that isn't public yet a user: an overview: all latest designs: (This isn't a dummy. The designs come from an actual database, login and user-registration work and in theory creation of designs, files andby MarcusWolschon - Object repositories
Re: Homeprototypes: use of MediaGoblin? - 11 years ago
It seems that STL support requires blender on the server.... Allowing attachments solves that multiple-file issue partly. There is still only 1 main image. example: So far it doesn't look like MediaGoblin does provide any advantage to coding our own site using some framework like PHPCake.by MarcusWolschon - Object repositories
