as an establishment clause-loving USian, I was thinking about #religion and public life this Easter Monday
I'm always kinda scandalized by countries that have an official religion, where the liturgical year affects public accommodations, etc.
I found this Pew report on countries that have official or preferred religions, but it seems a little modest in its conclusions
anyone have good readings on religion and public life, esp in liberal democracies?
wait: CC licenses expire after you die, right, so your work is just in the public domain? or do the stipulations of CC licenses persist after death? (if so, when do those expire? ever?)
this seems like it should be both obvious and an easy thing to nail down, but I'm having trouble finding any good discussion of the question... is there a #librarian here who could enlighten me?
I am under the impression this is the case in most countries and I also find it reduces the complexity of political and economical discussion.
However, I am not aware of many important political parties that can be defined as liberals and not conservatives (maybe the FDP in Germany?)
Could someone recommend something on open acces vs traditional editorial practices in academia?
Books, papers, news articles, anything. If it is from the last two years, better.
