Rob Myers' interesting PoV on Open Source and Art

I stumbled over an interesting article by Rob Myers, in which he states that the "Open Source" model is nothing without the ideology of Free Software - and encourages artists to use copyleft licenses for their work. A nice read.

Rob is an interesting guy, didn't know him yet, but he's an enrichment for free art.

It's a pity that this article doesn't go into art licenses explicitly, to relieve artist from further readings about free art, media, content licenses. IMO legal things are even more confusing for this stuff than for code.
