While I agree about this particular video, which is primarily about branding and directed at Red Hat customers, it seems the Red Hat Creative team defaults to CC-BY-NC-ND for everything, even in cases when such a restrictions does not bring any additional benefit, like in http://www.redhat.com/videos/fudcon11.html Also, I hope at some point they will start delivering the content in Free formats by default, with a nice and easy fallback option for the customers with inadequate browsers (it's so easy that I can't see a reason for not doing it): http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/2009/02/fallback-options-for-html5-video.html -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
