Enchanting delirium is in full swing. It would seem, well, what else you could think up nonsense! All nonsense is invented. But no! The wrecking ingenuity has no limits!
It seems that after the
protests of copyrights against free licenses in the amendments to the Civil Code, it was
proposed that the person declare that his work is distributed under a
free license on a state website, for example,
Rospatent . How thousands of Linux and Wikipedia authors will do this is not clear. It is not clear how you can register every edit in Wikipedia (and there are more than 33 million of them in Russian Wikipedia, by the way, only in Russian Wikipedia !!!) And the registered participating authors are 600 thousand, and this is not counting non-registered authors, and every line of Linux code. But the proposed amendments are considered progressive, a great blessing, an unprecedented favor for citizens!
But this is all the point of view of
Kalyatin , who believes that free licenses “do not fit” with the law of the Russian Federation (I must say that it is not the first time that he’s unreasonably scratching his tongue, but he has never given specific arguments why free licenses do not work and how Specifically, they contradict the articles). But all normal people understand that legally there is no difference between ordinary and free licenses, and therefore they work as usual, work and free *. I think, you should not be afraid of these stupid amendments, because these will be amendments “for them”, and for us there is a
1286 article of the civil code of the Russian Federation and we will use it. If someone thinks that this is illegal, these are his problems - until the court has decided to illegality a specific free license, this is all speculation.

UPD: By the way, remember the
position of RAO on free licenses . True funny coincidence or prediction?
UPD2:
Hope for Putin , but you will not do anything.
UPD3: The topic is
discussed and on "In contact" . In particular, it has been suggested that Kalyatin is paid money to make him say nonsense in the interests of the copywriters. And
on the ENT too .
* But it should also be noted that despite the fact that the licenses work, there is one roughness: in Russia it is possible to release something under a free license, and then withdraw the work.
This is not a serious problem (and is not a problem at all) , since The authors understand what they are doing and are unlikely to recall works. This roughness was proposed to be eliminated by recent amendments to the Civil Code, but now it is not entirely clear what happens there.
