From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

• "Copyfreedom" sounds very much like a word coined by the user who wrote the article, in order to further a certain point of view with respect to copyright issues. As shown by Google, this word has not yet gained any acceptance. Delete. David.Monniaux 08:16, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)

• Copyfreedom sounds like a word with a lot of sense. Which word would one use for this sense ??. Copyfreedom is OK -Mac 08:26, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Whether it makes sense is not at issue here. The thing is that an encyclopedia should not create terminology. Delete. Neologism, made-up "legal" term created to bolster a particular POV on intellectual property rights. — Gwalla | Talk 08:31, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
    • Copyfreedom is not a neologism (it´s used in http://scrivenerserror.blogspot.com/2004/04/even-more-still-more-or-lessig.html , http://ezine.hit.bg/internet/multimedia/copyfreedom - internationally - , http://www.farid-hajji.net/fun/cj-fairyacad.html and so on). Novo 08:43, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
      • I'm sorry, but a few blogs using a word meant to promote a certain point of view does not mean that the word has received wide acceptance or attention. David.Monniaux 10:04, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
• The term has no particular legal standing that I can find (although the author(s) may know better) and isn't in common use. Delete - TB 09:21, Aug 19, 2004 (UTC)
• Delete: dictdef, neologism, and there are many other terms emerging and existing for the same meaning. Geogre 12:50, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
• Neologism. Delete. DJ Clayworth 14:20, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. This is an unsurprising neologism that apparently has had several people coin it independently. That doesn't give it the same notability as a term that has actually received acceptance and real usage. --Michael Snow 17:34, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. Original research. RickK 18:57, Aug 19, 2004 (UTC)
• Redirect to copyleft. -Sean Curtin 19:11, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. Worthless term with no legal significance, and no cultural currency. Postdlf 20:21, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • It's cute, btw, how it's tagged under the (nonexistant) category "Freedom". Postdlf 20:23, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
