Definition of "Open Source"[edit]

The term "open source" is a trademark of the Open Source Initative. Here is their definition of what it means: https://opensource.org/osd Most of the projects currently listed on this page do not qualify, either because of the use of CC license with a NonCommercial clause, or because sources are not available. I suggest this page be divided into two, one called something like "CreativeCommons films" or "Open content films", and one using the current title but only including projects that fit the Open Source Definition. --Danylstrype (talk) 09:26, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I second the above comment. Some of them are also under a non-derivatives license. This article is extremely misleading, since it is only a minority of the films listed that qualify as "open source". Maybe non-commercial films should go on their own separate list/article? Johnsu01 (talk) 17:35, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Stray Cinema[edit]

Stray Cinema is listed as "Open Source Movie" "yes", but "CC License" of "by-nc-sa". I would think the NonCommercial clause would mean it is not an Open Source Movie. Lloydbudd (talk) 22:07, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Indented line NonCommercial does not mean not Open Source. It is the same as in software, there is Open Source software that is being sold. Spiralciric (talk) 18:18, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled[edit]

information about production-team, country is missing!!

The Last Drug[edit]

The Last Drug....seeing as it's almost 2011 right now, isn't a planned release of 2009 a bit ridiculous? Bustter (talk) 21:48, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Station to Station[edit]

After extensive search, I cannot find any verification that the Station to Station feature film or any of it's 62 shorts are open source, creative commons, or commercial reuse. Furthermore, the film is not not even available for free online viewing which again makes it very unlikely that this is open source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:420:4484:1254:C4A9:8:9441:56B2 (talk) 09:53, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Dead Gentlemen[edit]

Could the films/shows by The Dead Gentlemen(The Gamers, The Gamers 2: Dorkness Rising, Journey Quest, et.al) be considered under this category? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.185.45.237 (talk) 06:31, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ship of Theseus[edit]

Could anyone please confirm that 'Ship of Theseus' is actually CC-BY-4.0? I've found no source to corroborate this. KozRoss (talk) 06:53, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I can't either. Not to mention the year of the film is wrong. I've removed it from the list. Opencooper (talk) 07:08, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sintel[edit]

Is Sintel a good option for this list? Looks like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sintel lists it as CC Attribution? Ahlfi006 (talk) 21:14, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
