Since I do not like the first article of italian constitution that says

"Italy is a Democratic Republic, founded on work"

I wanted to detourn the firsts 12 articles of the constitution, taking contents from Utopia by Thomas Moore and The Anarchist Cookbook.

Here the Speculative Constitution!

import random #otherwise random does not work :)

#first parts of the first 12 articles of the italian constitutes

it_articles = ["\n\nART.1 \nItaly is a Democratic Republic, founded", 'ART.2 \nThe Republic recognises and guarantees', 'ART.3 \nAll citizens have equal social dignity and are','ART.4 \nThe Republic recognises the right of all citizens to','ART.5 \nThe Republic, one and indivisible, recognises and promotes','ART.6 \nThe Republic shall protect','ART.7 \nThe State and the Catholic Church are','ART.8 \nAll religious confessions enjoy','ART.9 \nThe Republic shall promote the development of','ART.10 \nThe Italian legal system conforms to the generally recognised rules of','ART.11 \nItaly  rejects  war  as  an  instrument  of','ART.12 \nThe flag of the Republic is']

with open("Utopia.txt") as utopia:  #open the external .txt
    contents = utopia.read().replace('\n','  ').replace('\r ', '').replace('-','').replace('  ',' ').strip(' and ')#delete useless stuff
    
with open("anarchist_cookbook.txt") as cookbook:
    contents2 = cookbook.read().replace('\n', ' ').replace('\r', '').strip('1234567890').replace('-','').replace('  ',' ').strip(' and ')


utopia_splitted = contents.split("," or "." or '"' or '; ' or 'and') #splits the texts and makes a list

cookbook_splitted = contents2.split("," or "." or '"' or '; ' or 'and')

export = './export.txt'     
with open(export, 'w') as export:     #This creates a txt file

    for i in range(5): #creates more possibilities, change the value to have more or less results
        
        for x in range(12): 
        
            utopia_random = random.choice(utopia_splitted) #it takes a random sentence from the list
            cookbook_random = random.choice(cookbook_splitted)
        
            constitute = it_articles[x] #it prints in order the articles
            
            speculative_constitute = constitute + (utopia_random or cookbook_random)
        
    
            export.write(f"{speculative_constitute}.\n \n")    #This prints on txt the results
            
            print(f'''{speculative_constitute}.\n''')

I tried to re/create my favorite twitter bot, il pleut

import random

width = 10
height = 10
drops = [',','    ','    ','     ']
rain = ''

for x in range(width):
    for y in range(height):
        rain += random.choice(drops)
    print(rain)
    rain = ''

Creating Licenses

Thoughts from reading PhD's thesis of Aymeric.

In Search of Pluralism

About the link between free software (and open source) and its expansion into other forms of cultural production (pp. 76-91)

• The word "free" refers to freedom, not price: Any individual has the freedo of copying, distribuiting and modifying * for personal, noncommercial purpose
• Copyright not very useful to the digital interworked realm
• From 1998 people from every field started to write their own license
  • Different understandings of what freedom and openness mean in the context of culture and knoweldge
  • Licenses as expressive tools to empower and materialise various ideology
    • 'BUT' this proliferation is not necessarily a positive semantic disorder. Every licenses seem to connect theirself under the same umbrella but they have distinctive fts and attitudes on the understanding of the free/open software template

• Metaphor with liberalism?
  • but the proliferation of licenses is not driven for competition but for an emergence of identity politics!
  • but democratic system depends on the multiplication of discourse
  • multi attempts to protect cultural freedom and openness as a whole.

• What about the legality of these licenses?
  • Here arrives CreativeCommons: more generic approach to openness in culture
  • CC embraces the strategy of economics by providing a collection of licences to fit every purpose
  • Cascading, license's communities which did not embrace CC started to aggregate theirselves

Proto free culture definitions

Four kinds of free knowledge by Pena-Lopez

• The freedom to use the knowledge, for any purpose (freedom 0).
• The freedom to study how the knowledge applies, and adapt it to your needs (freedom 1). Access to the source information is a precondition for this.
• The freedom to redistribute knowledge so you can help your neighbour (freedom 2).
• The freedom to improve the knowledge, and release your im- provements to the public, so that the whole community bene- fits (freedom 3). Access to the source information is a precon- dition for this.

The Open Knowledge Definition (three meanings of open: legally socially technologically open)

1. Access
2. Redistribution
3. Re-Use
4. Absence of Technological Restriction
5. Attribution
6. Integrity
7. No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups 8. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor 9. Distribution of License
8. License Must Not Be Specific to a Package
9. License Must Not Restrict the Distribution of Other Works

4Rs Framework Willey's distinction between rework and remix

1. Reuse – Use the work verbatim, just exactly as you found it
2. Revise – Alter or transform the work so that it better meets your needs
3. Remix – Combine the (verbatim or altered) work with other works to better meet your needs
4. Redistribute – Share the verbatim work, the reworked work, or the remixed work with others

Moral -> different readings of the free software template are possible.

We assume that the Free Software template is a model for large-scale productive social relation where generous collaboration take place and not just a more effective and liberal form of efficient production and sharing:

RELATIONS > PRODUCTIONS

Copyleft, DIY, consensus-based decision-making and free-open source software ==> Critical appropriation of technologies!!
