There are many ways to participate in freeing the copyright covering the three documentaries, but money is the concrete point to reach the freedom steps. Even if the price of 50 000€ can be compared with the price range of a documentary made the traditional way it hasn't been estimated this way.
This amount corresponds to the basic expenses spent to make the documentaries until now. Professional production causes incompressible logisitic costs, but the budget could be approximatly reduced to 30-40% by skipping some intermediaries, using only free software and collaborative work. It excludes any salary. Once this investment is refunded, minimal copyright freedoms covered by Creative Commons BY-NC-ND licence will be applied.

We could afford it to start this experience, but we cannot continue this way to make new documentaries. By reaching that level this punctual experience will turn to a viable production model, so all copyright freedoms covered by Creative Commons BY-SA licence will be applied.
