Copy, Rip, Burn by David Berry
The book traces the emergence and political stakes of copyleft and open-source movements, showing how debates over freedom, ownership, and community reshaped software development and cultural production. It examines ideological tensions between free-software purists and open-source pragmatists, analyzes licensing regimes and legal strategies used to govern code and creative works, and explores how these practices interact with market forces and corporate interests. Drawing on historical cases and close readings of licenses and communities, it argues that copyleft and open-source are not merely technical choices but political projects that reconfigure authorship, property, and the public sphere in the digital age.
