Certification? Bring It On!Not too far in the distant past, I was persuaded to give my résumé to a recruiter. He was trying to place a development manager for a growing company, and they wanted heavy Agile experience, deep management experience, and someone with some technical chops. Well, I figured that twenty-plus year of experience, with something like eight years of legitimate Agile, leading a team of twenty-plus, producing a product that won several Jolt awards and a JDJ Editor’s Choice award… I thought I was a lock for an interview.But an email came right back: The client is wondering where you got your degree. Twenty years of experience, and they want to know how I spent my time in the mid-eighties.This got me thinking about certification. It’s another long-running debate. And something funny has happened to me. I’ve switched sides. I’m actually in favour of certifying software developers. Yes, I am in favour of disqualifying intelligent programmers from professional employment if they do not possess a little piece of paper from a certifying agency.Deep breath. Wait for the room to stop spinning. Or is my head spinning around on my shoulders (heh)?the catchLike everyone else in favour of certification, I have my own ides about what skills and knowledge you need to demonstrate to get your certification. Unlike everyone else, I think I would fail my own certification if I didn’t do a whole lot of studying. That’s because I think our industry is undemanding, very undemanding. I know a few people who would pass my certification without studying. But only a few.Before I tell you what’s on the final examination, let’s talk about what isn’t:Object oriented programming: not on the exam. Use OO on a project, don’t use OO on a project, I don’t care. Throw in dependency injection, MVC, everything to do with industry standard architecture. I still don’t care, you can get certified without it.Functional programming, metaprogramming, macros: not on the exam. Be an academic, be a language weenie. Or not. I don’t care.Static typing, type inference, annotations, category theory: not on the exam. Save it for your blog post, I don’t care.Knowing who Alan Kay, John McCarthy, or Ted Nelson are: not on the exam. I think it’s great to know the history of our industry, but I don’t care.Design Patterns: See OO above. I really don’t care. Write spaghetti code. Be Mel. I don’t care.Agile Development, Waterfall, GTD, or anything else to do with Getting Things Done: I really don’t care. I will certify you whether you can execute or not.Deep knowledge of programming language syntax or semantics: I’ll certify PHP programmers. I’ll certify Java programmers that don’t understand generics. I don’t care if you know what a closure is. I don’t care if you believe that recursion is retrograde.By now, you are thinking, “Raganwald, this certification is worthless. You are excluding just about everything we know about writing great software. What’s the point?”Let me explain. My certification does not say you are any good at coding software. Let me repeat. My certification does not say that you are any good at coding software. I’ll let the marketplace decide. I am not telling businesses, “Hire certified programmers, they are great coders.” Why should I? Business is perfectly happy to hire programmers with Comp. Sci. degrees, and there seems to be little or no evidence that a Comp. Sci. degree says anything about your ability do deliver working software. So why should my certification raise that bar?what’s on the examNow let’s talk about what is on the exam. Just one subject, but the exam goes into excruciating detail about that subject. If you don’t know this subject cold, I am not going to certify you. Period. No debate, no negotiation, no “equivalent experience.”The one subject? Testing and Quality Control. That’s right. All I care about is that if you are asked to make bulletproof software, you know how. I’m going to ask you about:Continuous integration.Black box testing.White box testing.Design for testing.Probabilistic testing.Testing tools.Testing metrics.Testing methodologies.And more:Security concepts.Preventing vulnerabilities.Privacy and data management concepts.Encryption and verification concepts.And a whole lot more on top of that. There is room for debate about whether to have separate testers or whether programmers should test themselves. You are not getting certified with me unless you know how to do it both ways, and can write a comprehensible essay describing the relative advantages and disadvantages of both. I am not going to require you to know the latest programming frameworks, but you are not getting certified unless you demonstrate up-to-date knowledge of the latest continuous integration tools.Test Driven Development: By Example is THE book that ignited a revolution in software development practices. Whether you are developing in an Agile environment or working from a telephone book specification in a Waterfall project, Test-Driven Development will show you how to write automated tests that work to actually shorten your development time and clarify your code.And best of all, this book uses actual projects as an example. This is not an exercise in theory, this is a practical tome full of practical advice. You’re already familiar with the concepts, reading this book will dive into the details that will make your coding more effective.I don’t care if you know how to write a great architecture document. But I will fail you if you can’t write a good code review. The same goes for everything else. I will not demand that you do it a specific way, but you will prove that you have state-of-the art knowledge of how to ensure that software is solid and does what you expect it to do, no more, no less.And you know what? After you get your piece of paper, you’ll need to work for at least a year under the supervision of a certified leader to get your upgraded “practitioner” certification. I want you to practise continuous education.Does this mean that I am going to certify all of the QA Analysts in the industry while barring the programmers from work? Well, let me ask you: do most, a few, or any of the QA Analysts you know have a deep knowledge of software quality and methodologies? Can they write an essay describing the cost of bug fixing comparing early vs. late detection? Can they talk about various unit testing tools? Can they measure code coverage? Can they look at a piece of code with 93% coverage and tell whether the missing 7% has one or more crucial cases missing?If so, I want to certify them. If not, they need to hit the books with me.where did I get this crazy idea?In our industry we have wasted millions of person-years debating the relationship between software development and architecture/engineering. Last weekend I went to see Pixar’s Ratatouille with my son. And it struck me: we should be like chefs.Do I demand that the chef in a restaurant use a certain kind of stove? Cook a certain kind of food? Manage her kitchen a certain way? Non! The marketplace decides all these things. And the marketplace works for this. What do we demand? What do we require of restaurants?Safety. We demand that if they serve the public, that they have certain fire safety standards. That they have certain food cleanliness standards. That they know enough about food not to poison us by accident. Of course, a cook learns to cook when getting their designation. But the thing we really demand of them is that they keep us safe!If we order Chicken, we do not want the Fish to come out and put us into Anaphylactic Shock. Cooks know that mixing up Chicken and Fish is fatal, while mixing up Basil and Oregano is not. So they have a different protocol for handing the two kinds of food. They keep us safe. And if I am placed in charge of certification one day, that’s what I will demand. Keep us safe. Don’t leave back doors and XSS vulnerabilities in your code. Don’t store our passwords in the database. Don’t deliver code that is full of undiscovered bugs.If someone can be relied upon to write software that is safe, I will not dictate how they do it, or how long it takes to do it. The marketplace can decide whether they are employable, much as a restaurant can decide whether to hire someone whose food is bland and unappetizing.I am not telling businesses that they can’t ship software full of bugs. You have Product Managers, they can decide whether it is more important to build new features or fix the old ones. Microsoft, do your thing! But business can’t make those decisions unless they have an accurate view of what the software actually does, of which parts are solid and which are brittle.And I am not telling managers how to run projects. But I do expect that a certified manager understands the trade-offs when she chooses BDUF over Agile, Theory D over Theory P. She can do as she please, provided her eyes are wide open to the consequences.Well, that’s my thought about certification. I’m all for it, don’t let anyone say otherwise. And like everyone else, I want it to reflect what my experience tells me is important about software development in the commercial environment, namely safety and a clear view of what works and what doesn’t.This is obviously a pipe dream, the product of Dark Horse Café’s “Ruby’s Pride” French Press coffee. But what do you think? Would such a certification be useful?Labels: popular

eBay and craigslist
Hey folks, here's my personal take on the announcement regarding craigslist and eBay. But first, to make sense of this, a little history.
I made craigslist into a real company in '99, and made it a corporation (on paper, not attitude) to get the legal protections that you get that way. That's the way it works in the US.
Looking into the future, I figured that maybe someday I'd go middle-aged crazy and/or megalomaniacal, and already, "I can resist anything but temptation" (Oscar Wilde) So, with the idea of establishing checks and balances, mostly on myself, I entrusted some equity in craigslist to a guy who was working with me at the time. (I won't name him, out of respect for his privacy)
I figured it didn't matter, since everyone agreed that the equity had only symbolic value, not dollar value.
Well, the guy later left the company, and decided to sell his equity, which i learned he had every legal right to do.
He met with eBay, and eBay in turn approached us to see how we would feel about them getting involved with us.
Although I never figured that part of craigslist might be owned by a public company, Meg Whitman and Pierre Omidyar showed that they were interested in us for all the right reasons.
Like craigslist, eBay is about helping folks get everyday stuff done, on a level playing field - they emphasize trustworthiness and reputation, and try really hard to listen to people. Basically, we're both about building community, and humanizing and democratizing the 'net, and there's gotta be more of that.
I'd really like to thank the following individuals for helping ensure that the spirit and mission of craigslist will endure:
-- Jim Buckmaster - craigslist CEO (much taller than me but not nearly as attractive)
-- Ed Wes - our lead attorney at Perkins Coie
-- Meg Whitman - eBay CEO
-- Pierre Omidyar - eBay Founder and Chairman
The deal we're announcing today basically allows us to operate without changing our mission of community service, while making available to us expertise and resources we could really use.
There's a lot more detail here, but that's the basic story.
If you have questions or comments, here's a special forum. (I won't be able to respond to all questions, but will read everything posted there, and post updates there or to this blog)
Folks, for the first day of this or so, I'm going to be deluged with questions, so if you're a reporter, well, we've asked Susan MacTavish Best to help me out, I've known her for many years, and we gotta get more professional about this:

By now, you've probably at least heard the term Web 2.0. But do you know what it means for entrepreneurs?There are various arguments about what exactly Web 2.0 encompasses. In general, it refers to a maturing of the internet, the next version of the web. Some of the Web 2.0 trends, such as user participation, are occurring across many media channels. The increase in the number of reality TV shows is one major example of this. Hit shows like American Idol and Dancing with the Stars extend user participation to the audience by allowing them to vote for contestants at the end of the shows.The term Web 2.0 originated in 2004 from O'Reilly Media. Since then, it has taken on a life of its own, as all great buzzwords do. Here are some of the main concepts that make up Web 2.0:
Systems designed for user participation rather than top-down controlAudience participationService-oriented solutionsData owned by usersUser-generated content, data and intelligenceCollaboration (wikis)Social networkingRich internet applicationsWeb servicesCombining of different services (mash-ups)Emphasis on localThe entry points of the web have also contributed to these trends. The door to information is mostly managed through major search engines and portals, such as Yahoo!, Google and MSN. These three entry points now rank search results mostly on the popularity of a website, which is affected by the number of links to the website from other websites. When people post content, they also promote it; the links back to their content begin to increase search engine rankings for sites with such user-generated content.The popularity of YouTube, MySpace and Wikipedia further validates the importance of user-generated content. These sites either didn't exist five years ago or were much smaller. All of these sites are predominantly tools for users to post content at no cost. These three sites in particular have come online and taken the internet by storm. YouTube, MySpace and Wikipedia currently rank fourth, fifth and 10th, respectively, in terms of traffic.
What Web 2.0 Can Do for Your BusinessFor entrepreneurs, Web 2.0 means more opportunities and better tools for running your business. No matter what type of business you own, you need to be using technology to your advantage. If you don't, your competition will most likely crush you. As the web audience continues to increase and the use of other traditional media and advertising vehicles such as TV, newspapers and yellow-page directories continue to decline, the web becomes increasingly important for even non-technology businesses. For those of you with businesses that target younger audiences, this becomes even more important. Advertising via Google AdWords, Yahoo! Search Marketing and Microsoft adCenter is becoming essential for most businesses.If you're in any type of business where processes and procedures are important, you can use Web 2.0 technologies like wikis and service portals for collaboration. Web 2.0-based project and task management services can help make your employees much more efficient. Web 2.0 tools for collaboration also make it easier for smaller businesses to collaborate with customers and partners.Customer relationship management tools are probably the best known Web 2.0 software that's used as a service. Salesforce.com was one of the earliest innovators in using CRM software as a service. Meanwhile, Google Docs and Spreadsheets provides word processor and spreadsheet applications at no cost as part of Google Apps. Web 2.0 entrepreneurs continue to build out software services for functionality that only existed as packaged software before. Want to build the next Web 2.0 site? Go for it. Think about what internet service you can offer and differentiate from others. For consumer-based sites, it's about building the audience. For business-related software, it's about delivering a reliable business service at a reasonable price.

Workflow,
Copyright,
Licenses,
PrivacyIn this article, David Bushell gives you a strong understanding of how copyright and licenses work, why they exist and what they achieve. By understanding it, you can take advantage of the wealth of creative content across the Web. And remember: if in doubt, get legal advice.The Web is full of creative and practical resources that we can use to improve our projects. Photography, fonts, music and code are perfect examples. Finding stock objects and existing implementations is often quicker, cheaper and more practical than producing your own.Whether free or not, these resources normally come with a license to ensure fair use. For professionals, understanding the limitations of a license is critical; with this knowledge, you’d be surprised by what’s available. Understanding copyright and licenses allows us to do what we do best: be creative.Quick disclaimer: I am not a lawyer! This is not legal advice, only the results of my own research. Please always read the entire license of any resource you use.Copyright And LicensingWhen we create something — let’s say a photograph — we own the copyright, which is our exclusive right as the author to own that work. We control who else can use our work and in what manner. For example, I could allow someone to print my photograph or adapt it in a piece of art. Rather than establishing verbal agreements, I can distribute my work with a license that sets the guidelines for use. The things that are copyrighted are sometimes referred to as “intellectual property.”Licenses are granted by an authority to allow a usage; in my case, the use and distribution of resources by the copyright owner (i.e. me). I may decide to offer my photograph for free or charge a price; either way, I can include a license to limit usage, and I maintain the copyright. Just because someone pays money doesn’t mean they have full control or rights to what they’re buying. Licenses can dictate the number or uses, the bounds of use and even the length of time until the license expires.Moreover, under “work for hire,” the employer holds the copyright, not the author or creative; in many cases, this is a company (such as a creative agency) or its client (by contractual agreement). In such cases, the creator retains “moral rights” to their work, including the right of attribution. This is partly why published articles refer to the author, although moral rights can include anonymity.Copyright laws are incredibly complex, but this should be a good start.What Is “Fair Use”“Fair use” is an exception to the exclusive rights held by the copyright owner. It exists in some countries such as the US and UK. Under it, in certain cases, using work without permission is possible. If someone’s usage is defined as fair use, then they don’t need to obtain a license. Essentially, using copyrighted material is a legal right. Examples of fair use might include:Educational purposes, such as teaching and student research;Making commentary and criticism as part of a news report or published article.There’s a misconception that noncommercial or nonprofit use is always acceptable. It isn’t. Fair use is a legal term and is judged case by case. Always research thoroughly if you think your use of copyrighted material is legal.What Is “Public Domain”Work that falls in the “public domain” basically has no copyright owner. You can use, modify and redistribute it to your heart’s content. An author can forfeit their copyright and, thus, put their work in the public domain (although it’s not quite that easy, as we’ll see later). Copyright ownership expires after the author’s death (generally 50 to 70 years after death in most countries).Legal JurisdictionEvery country has its own interpretation of copyright law, but there are many agreements between nations. Licenses are enforced under copyright law, which is different than contract law. The distinction here is questionable within certain jurisdictions, each of which applies the law differently.The Berne Convention (for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works) was established in 1886 and is an international agreement that governs copyright. It states that each member state must recognize the copyright of work from other countries, and it must extend the same rights to foreign work that it gives to those of its own citizens. It also makes clear a minium standard of protection for copyright owners. To date, 164 countries have signed this agreement.Licenses can be limited to certain jurisdictions. So, while something may be free in one country, the copyright owner could reserve all rights in other countries.If you’re reading this, I can guess pretty confidently that you work on the Web and that you are, or will be, purchasing licenses from copyright owners in different countries. These licenses are bound by the laws of those countries, and you must respect them.We’re getting into political and legal territory here. Remember: if in doubt, get legal advice.License TerminologyA license can be written from scratch, but most people choose a well-known one. We’ll cover the common licenses that relate to our industry of website design and development, specifically those that allow for free usage — “free,” meaning that no money is required. Generally, licenses that govern paid resources are written individually, but all licenses have commonalities.There is obviously a fundamental difference between, say, development code and stock photography. So, it should come as no surprise that a range of licenses exist. Each is tailored to the usage. Before we dive into them, let’s go over some common terminology:“Copy”A simple copy of the original work.“Modify”To alter copyrighted work in some way before using it.“Derivative work”The result of modifying copyrighted work to produce new work.“Distribute”The act of giving someone your work under a license.“Redistribute”The act of distributing work and its license after obtaining it under license from the original copyright owner.“Share alike”Permission to distribute derivative work under the same or a similar license.“Credit” or “attribution”The act of identifying the original copyright owner.“Copyright notice”A written phrase or symbol (©) informing of copyright ownership (not necessarily required by law).“All rights reserved”A common copyright notice declaring that no usage rights exist (again, not necessarily required).“Warranty”A written guarantee included with the license (or, usually, not).With this in mind, let’s start with the creative licenses.Creative CommonsLawrence Lessig founded Creative Commons (CC) in 2001 to create a series of easy-to-understand copyright licenses for online creative work. These licenses established the notion of “some rights reserved.”The Creative Commons license has six variations. It’s really a collection of licenses that cover particular uses. These include whether the licensed work can be used commercially, whether it can be modified, and whether derivative work can be redistributed under the same (or a compatible) license. A Creative Commons license can be restricted to certain jurisdictions or apply internationally.Creative Commons.The basic Creative Commons license is CC Attribution. It allows for all copying, modification and redistribution (even commercially), provided that the original author is attributed (with no implication of endorsement). Work under CC Attribution is essentially free to use.The CC Attribution license can be extended to CC Attribution-ShareAlike. The same rules apply, except that all derivative work must be licensed the same way. This distinction ensures that all resulting work remains free. Wikipedia uses this license for its text.Here are the four other Creative Commons licenses:CC Attribution-NoDerivs.Redistribution is allowed, provided that attribution is given and no modifications are made.CC Attribution-NonCommercial.Everything is allowed with attribution, provided that it is not done commercially.CC Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike.The same as above, but derivative work must be under the same license.CC Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs.Redistribution is allowed for noncommercial use and without any modification.As you can see, the Creative Commons licence has six separate versions, all of which at least require attribution to the copyright owner.You should attribute by citing the title of the work, the copyright notice, the author’s name and the license name. For example:“This work includes the photo ‘Photo’s Title’, available under a Creative Commons Attribution license, © Author’s Name.”If the original work includes a copyright notice, it must be left intact. Otherwise, you are free to attribute appropriately. Also, link to the work and license if possible. Informing the author is courteous but not required.CC0 also exists. It enables copyright owners to waive all of their rights. It’s essentially a way of saying that the work is in the public domain and that there are “no rights reserved.” The concept exists because many jurisdictions don’t have a clear process for putting work in the public domain, and many legal systems actually prohibit the surrendering of lawful rights such as copyright ownership.The Creative Commons licenses are clear and readable. As mentioned, Wikipedia uses the Attribution-ShareAlike. Flickr makes it easy for users to select one of the CC licenses, and it’s a great source of photography for your projects. You can even search Google for Creative Commons content.Software LicensesWritten code is copyrighted: you own what you write. Of course, the simplest line of code, like print(‘Hello World!’);, can be rewritten totally independently, without knowledge of the original author, and both parties will own the copyright of their own version (however worthless it may be). But beyond a few lines, code does become valuable, and distributing it with a license is important.Other intellectual property laws, such as patents, can also protect software. Software patent laws are hotly debated in the US, where they are granted. In many other countries, such as the UK and New Zealand, software cannot be patented. While copyright is a right, patents must be granted.Software licenses cover the use of programming code. If you’re using a third-party library or elements from an open-source project, your usage must respect the relevant license.Development licenses generally cover the following points:How the work and modifications of it can be distributed,Whether any derivative work must be made open source,What copyright and other notices are required for redistribution.Software licenses can be defined as “permissive” or “copyleft.” The latter removes the right to add further license restrictions upon redistribution.Below is a quick rundown of common software licenses and how they’ve evolved over the decades.MIT LicenseThe MIT license is perhaps the most open of all. It effectively puts the work in the public domain. It explicitly gives permission, “without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sub license, and/or sell copies of the Software.” The only condition is that the full copyright notice (which declares no warranty or liability) be included. Work released under the MIT license can be used for anything, including commercial and proprietary software.BSD LicenseThe BSD license is similar to the MIT license.The original version, published in 1990, had four clauses, the last being an “advertising clause” stating that all promotional material for derivative work had to refer to the original source. This was later removed in 1999 in the “New BSD” or “Modified BSD” license.What separates the newer three-clause BSD license from the MIT license is a clause stating that the name of the original copyright owner cannot be used to endorse any derivative work without prior permission. This eliminates any doubt about the right to use the person or organization’s name. Whether this clause is even required is debatable, because copyright and trademark laws are separate issues. Even though the MIT license does not declare this, we cannot assume permission of endorsement.An additional two-clause “FreeBSD” or “Simplified BSD” license exists, which omits this endorsement clause and instead includes a disclaimer to disassociate any views made in derivative work from the original copyright owner. This can be seen as explicitly stating the opposite of an endorsement.Both the MIT and BSD licenses give us complete freedom to copy, distribute and modify work for any purpose, provided that the original license and copyright notice are included. Derivative work can be released under another license or as proprietary software.The Apache LicenseYou can see from the BSD example just how difficult it is to word a license. There are so many ambiguities and connections to other laws that getting the point across is nearly impossible. Many more essentially “free” licenses have appeared in an attempt to make such intention clear.The Apache License is a free software license that does not require the same license of derivative work. This means that code under the license can be used in open, free and proprietary software (like the MIT and BSD licenses).Apache logo.It imposes the conditions that in any licensed file, all original copyright, attribution and trademark notices must be preserved. Additionally, with any modified work, a notice of change must be included. Any existing notices of change must also be kept. All of these notices must be distributed in a text file and in the source code or documentation.This requirement to preserve modification notices makes the Apache license different from the MIT and BSD licenses. It also includes many more legal terms and conditions that (among other purposes) dissolves any liability of the original copyright owner.The Apache license (version 2) is said to be GPL-compatible, meaning that a project containing code licensed under both must also be licensed under GPL version 3.GNU General Public LicenseFirst written by Richard Stallman in 1989, the General Public License (GPL) is now at version 3 as of 2007. It was founded on the principle that we should be free to use, change, share and share changes to free software. No matter how the software is distributed, it remains free. This concept is called “copyleft.”The basic principles of the GPL mean that, unlike the MIT, BSD and Apache licenses, work under GPL must remain under this license. GPL code can be sold, but no proprietary software can be derived from it. If you distribute any derivative work, then your source code must be made available under the same license. Essentially, once a work is released under the GPL, it remains GPL and no further restrictions can be applied.Version 3 of the GPL specifically states that while code under the GPL can be used to implement digital rights management (DRM), using GPL code does not count as effective “protection,” and as such, anyone who breaks it cannot be help accountable under digital rights law.Where Licenses Are UsedWe already know that Wikipedia uses the Creative Commons Attribute-ShareAlike license and that Flickr allows users to choose a Creative Commons license. What else should we know?Most JavaScript libraries are available under license by nature. jQuery, for example, is available under dual license: either MIT or GPL v2. Other libraries are available under MIT, such as Modernizr (which is also under BSD), Raphaël and Respond.js (also under GPL v2). You can use all of these libraries while reserving rights for your own derivative work, provided that you include the relevant copyright notices for these libraries.Plug-Ins and ThemesWordPress and Drupal are important ones to note because they’re available only under GPL v2. This means that any derivative work must also be licensed under GPL; and according to the WordPress license page, this includes all plug-ins and themes:“Part of this license outlines requirements for derivative works, such as plugins or themes. Derivatives of WordPress code inherit the GPL license. […] There is some legal grey area regarding what is considered a derivative work, but we feel strongly that plugins and themes are derivative work and thus inherit the GPL license. If you disagree, you might want to consider a non-GPL platform…”Drupal’s licensing FAQ is more specific about this:“The GPL requires that if you make a derivative work of Drupal and distribute it to someone else, you must provide that person with the source code under the terms of the GPL so that they may modify and redistribute it under the terms of the GPL as well. However, you are under no obligation to distribute the code to anyone else. If you do not distribute the code but use it only within your organization, then you are not required to distribute it to anyone at all.”What does this mean? If you’re developing a WordPress or Drupal theme, it must be under GPL. You can distribute your work, should you choose.If you’re developing a theme for personal use or for a client, you have little to worry about because you are not technically “distributing” it.Selling themes on the open market is a gray area, because distribution must be under the GPL. The GPL allows you to sell this work, but it also allows others to redistribute and sell it, too; you can’t do much about that. However, theoretically, the only derivative work that falls under GPL is the PHP code; any images, CSS and other content in your project remain yours. On top of that, you are free to charge extra for technical support and so on.Remember that while WordPress is open source and free under the GPL, it is still copyrighted. You have to respect its chosen license.Does My Work Need A License?If you’re publishing content online — be it design work, photography, blog articles, audio or video — then the default is “all rights reserved”. Unless you publish it under a license (or through a Web service that reserves some rights for itself — and most do), then only you hold copyright. That’s great, but what do you gain by giving others permission?In his article “Pick a License, Any License,” Jeff Atwood highlights the interesting example of developers who publish code on their blogs. Unless the developer states otherwise, no one has permission to use that code in their project. Always consider the benefits of others using and attributing your work: it could be great self-promotion!It’s worth noting that you do not need to issue a license in order to give permission for someone to use your work. Some areas of the law favor verbal and contractual agreements over copyright.Additionally, when using services such as Twitter and Flickr, you are probably giving those websites full rights to your work as part of their terms of service. These websites couldn’t operate without your content, but they do take every advantage of reserving full rights over the content you publish. This allows them to develop their service in different ways on the strength of your content.Take this excerpt from Yahoo’s terms of service, which Flickr uses:“[…] you grant Yahoo! the royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive and fully sub-licensable right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform and display such Content (in whole or part) worldwide and/or to incorporate it in other works in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed […]”That covers just about everything!While Flickr allows you to upload photos under a Creative Commons license for others to use, you also grant Yahoo permission to do anything it likes with them. I’m not condemning Yahoo for this practice because it’s common to all Web services. I’m just highlighting the importance of reading the terms and conditions and understanding where you publish work and what rights you’re giving away.Final ThoughtsWith this information, you should have a strong understanding of how copyright and licenses work, why they exist and what they achieve. Ignorance of copyright — as of any law — is no excuse. By understanding it, we can take advantage of the wealth of creative content across the Web. If you’re publishing work online, consider sharing it under a license. You never know what interesting things people will do with it.As mentioned, this article is the result of my own research and is not legal advice. You’ll need the latter if you’re unsure about copyright licenses.Copyright License on the Web: An OverviewCopyright applies to the Web.Your work is protected under copyright as soon as it’s created and protected for your lifetime, plus 70 years.Copyright expires. When copyright expires, the work becomes public domain.Ideas can’t be copyrighted, only the result tangible expression of the idea can. (updated)You may use logos and trademarks in your works.You may use copyrighted material under the “fair use” doctrine.You may quote only limited portions of work. You may publish excerpts, not whole articles.You have to ask author’s permission to translate his/her article.The removal of the copyrighted material doesn’t remove the copyright infringement.If something looks copyrighted, you should assume it is. (updated)Advertising protected material without an agreement is illegal.You may not always delete or modify your visitors’ comments.User generated content is the property of the users.Copyright is violated by using information, not by charging for it.Getting explicit permission can save you a lot of trouble.Other Resources“A Short Guide To Open-Source And Similar Licenses” A Smashing Magazine article by Cameron Chapman.Open Source Initiative An extensive list of software licenses.“About the Licenses” A page that goes into detail on the variations of the Creative Commons license.“What Is Copyleft?” The general concept of free software.Producing Open-Source Software A guide to software projects, including chapters on licensing.“Pick a License, Any License” An overview of licenses, by Jeff Atwood.“The Ethics of WordPress Themes at a Premium” Are WordPress themes open source?

Symbol of the Talpiot program
Talpiot program (Hebrew: תוכנית תלפיות) is an elite Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) training program for recruits who have demonstrated outstanding academic ability in the sciences and leadership potential. Graduates pursue double higher education while they serve in the army, and they use their expertise to further IDF research and development in technological leadership positions.[1] The program was inaugurated in 1979.
The initiators of the program were Professor Felix Dothan and Professor Shaul Yatziv of the Hebrew University, who submitted the idea to the Israeli chief of staff Rafael Eitan. The idea was to harness human creativity, which peaks early,[citation needed] to develop new technologies for the army. The program is sponsored by the Israeli Air Force and IDF Administration for the Development of Weapons and the Technological Industry, and run under the auspices of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
During their initiation period, the cadets study for their B.Sc. in physics, mathematics or computer science at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem in Air Force uniform, while also undergoing different periods of field training designed to familiarize them with all branches of the IDF (infantry level 04 basic training, combat engineering course, armored corps course, artillery corps course, instruction in military tactics etc.). At the end of the course, which lasts 40 months, the cadets receive the rank of first lieutenant (segen) and a B.Sc. and become integrated in R&D in the IDF and Israel Military Industries, or alternatively, in various combat positions, if they so choose.
In addition to the three years obligated by the Israeli law, the service includes six years of standing army service in a wide variety of positions. The total program, including military service, is nine years.
The first class had 25 cadets. Later, the class was increased to 50–60. The applicant pool consists of nearly ten-thousand top scorers in a test taken by all graduating high school seniors. 300 potential applicants are then subjected to a two-day series of tests. These include further IQ exams, as well as group-tasks designed to test one's social dynamics, all conducted under the supervision of trained psychologists and military personnel. For example, teams of applicants are given a specific task then the instructions are changed while the test is in progress, such as shortening the allotted time or changing the assigned tasks. Final acceptance into the program entails a high security clearance rating, given by the Air Force.
In February 2016, the book Israel's Edge: The Story of IDF's Most Elite Unit - Talpiot, written by CNBC executive producer Jason Gewirtz, was published by Gefen in Jerusalem about the unit and the history of how it came into existence.[citation needed]
