This is a persistent volume for CraftBukkit. It has at least one plugin which requires an external db: I have this working with a link to the main bukkit server. It probably has to be running before bukkit runs, so if you're doing this from scratch run the db like so:

docker run -d --name bukkit-mysql -v /mnt/huge/bukkit/mysql:/var/lib/mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=impossiblepassword -e MYSQL_DATABASE=bukkit -e MYSQL_USER=bukkit -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=humnahumna docker-mysql

Aren't those environment variables cool? They come courtesy of orchardup's mysql container. Note that we're not exposing any ports on the db -- Docker's linking takes care of the port exposure. It's awesome!!!

The bukkit thing itself runs like this:

docker run -d -p 25565:25565 --name bukkit --link bukkit-mysql:db -v /mnt/huge/bukkit:/bukkit minecraft:bukkit /bukkit/stable/stable.sh

The Free Lunch; Fair Dealing and Creative Commons in Canadian Education

In 2011-2012 the rights of Canadians to use copyrighted works freely without needing to compensate creators -- known as Fair Dealing was expanded considerably by Bill C-21 and a series of court decisions known as the Copyright Pentalogy. In particular, education rights were greatly expanded; as such, it is generally considered fair dealing to use copyrighted images, portions of text, and video clips for university projects.

However, the Creative Commons -- a copyright scheme in which creators explictly allow a greater range of rights on works to users than traditional copyright -- remains a recommended method for acquiring media for projects, due in no small part to its flexibility in a greater range of uses than just education. Here are some links about C-21/the Pentalogy and Creative Common
