So what about applying the "open source" approach to content?
I've think it would be interesting to release content (book, music, whatever), under something like the GPL, allowing people free use of it: they could copy it, extend it, etc, as long as their usage was not commercial. At that point, they'd have to negotiate a separate license, just like in software.

Has anyone ever tried something like this?
