This is Great! A tie-in to Kylie Minogue's butt....kind of gives a new meaning to the "Open Source" concept!!
Seriously- if the artist took a publicly-available public image and/or song lyric,
( could " Nanananana..." be considered a lyric?)
and altered it, it IS an Open Source concept.
I do alot of that myself with computor art, generated from home photos.
Perhaps the problem is that it is a Registered Butt, not just anyones butt......???? I look forward to hearing more about this!

I enjoyed the article from Brazil- "Freedom of knowledge..."
the grammar is a little weird on Babelfish, but it's great to be able to read this stuff .
I wonder if the industrialized nations (and Microsoft) have a clue how big this is going to get if South America takes on Open Source as a banner for their reformations? Most of the South American nations are "group" cultures - unlike the "individualistic" cultures of the U.S. and Germany (for example). So if one group adopts something, very often the rest go like dominos.
