Suggestion[edit]

It should somehow be possible to organize an open source translation project – i.e. "Open Translation" for poems, songs etc.
When reading poetical translations made mainly by more or less know poets, I think one often has better ideas for certain verses or images that the poet tried to recreate in the target language – whereas for some verses he may have found English verses that are hard to improve.
Thus if many people work on trying to provide "the perfect" translation of say Der Erlkönig by not removing other ideas/text but just adding their own it should be much more likely to exhaust what the language has to offer.
I think it’s not easy to find a good organizational pattern for such a project but that's not different with Open music.

Current definition for Open [Source] Music[edit]

If with Open [Source] we mean Free (as in freedom, as libre), this article is wrong. An english speaker should have a look at the Free Cultural Works' definition. Actually, only two Creative Commons licenses (BY and BY-SA) are considered free as in freedom, although there are other licenses too. Gallaecio (talk) 00:36, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
