I see that most of EVF orgs’ own content (CEA, GWWC, 80k, etc.) is still under a default “all rights reserved” license. I feel like it’s a bit unfair to expect us to release our content on the Forum under a CC license but not do so yourselves. Do you have any plans to change this?
Yeah, good flag. I think most of what CEA writes publicly these days is posted on the Forum, so available for reuse under CC-BY for that reason, but we are working on getting the intro essay stuff from effectivealtruism.org under CC-BY as well. (There are a bunch of different authors, and many of them have other priorities right now, so it takes a while to get sign off from everyone.)
I can’t speak for other organizations, but I definitely would encourage them to transition to a “free culture” license, and would be happy to chat about our process for doing so with them if that’s helpful.
