Tao Te Ching by Laozi
"The Tao that can be trodden is not the enduring and unchanging
Tao. The name that can be named is not the enduring and unchanging name."
Tao Te Ching (or the Tao and its Characteristics) is an iconic Chinese text and the foundation work for the emergence of Taoism. The author(s) and the time of writing has been debated, but it is generally attributed to the sage Laozi (also romanized as Lao Tse) and oldest portions of the text are said to originate from 4th century BC.
This version has been translated by James Legge and has been sourced via Project Gutenberg.

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
"It is high time for thee to understand the true nature
both of the world, whereof thou art a part; and of that Lord and Governor of the world, from whom, as a channel from the spring, thou thyself didst flow: and that there is but a certain limit of time appointed unto thee, which if thou shalt not make use of to calm and allay the many distempers of thy soul, it will pass away and thou with it, and never after return."
Perhaps the most iconic work of Stoic philosophy, "Meditations" was written by Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, Roman emperor from 161 to 180 AD. It is believed that his work was never meant to be published, but only to serve as notes and reminders to himself about the nature of man, his responsibilities, his trials and tribulations.

META: Advancing and promoting copyright-free media has been something close to my heart for a long time; even before I understood Bitcoin I was releasing my self-made rap tracks under Creative Commons licenses. Studying Bitcoin and the ideas of cypherpunks, libertarians and Austrian economics have only solidified my view that copyright laws are fundamentally incompatible with the future towards which we are heading (and the one I want to see).
I also never wanted to start a charity. I never want to be in a position where I have to be begging for donations to realize my ideas. Hence, I figured that a charitable arm could be a part of an actual, profit-making business. The business can finance the charitable arm and the charitable arm promotes the business.
This is why @Open Source Culture exists, and this is why it is a part of @SATOSH.EE and not a separate project.

Open Source Culture represents the simple idea that ideas are free. That information yearns to be free. We acknowledge that copyright laws are unsuitable for a world that’s highly digitized; where content and information are, and should be, abundant and readily available for anyone.
The goal of the Open Source Culture initiative is to support and facilitate the creation, distribution and remixing/re-using/re-imagining of any artform that can be stored and distributed in a digital manner (i.e. books, essays, music, photos, code, video, etc.) without copyright restrictions.
The Open Source Culture Fund will be used to commission new artworks to be created and released into the public domain.
This will be done in three ways:
1. Through direct, private arrangements between Satoshee Strategy and artists
2. Through public contests in which artists can submit offers as to what they would be
