A legally remixable, open-source documentary

Open Source Cinema has released its first open-source documentary, RiP: A Remix Manifesto.   From the blurb:

RiP: A remix manifesto is an open source documentary about copyright and remix culture. Created over a period of six years, the film features the collaborative remix work of hundreds of people who have contributed to this website, helping to create the world's first open source documentary.

Kaltura, whose open-source technology helps power Open Source Cinema, calls RiP "the first legally remixable documentary about copyright and remix culture...."  No surprise, viewers haven't wasted any time in remixing it.
