Seems asking a question about the CC licenses, always triggers saying 'talk to a lawyer', the problem being, that usually the questions are about understanding the license.
For example, http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/182 . It's like blind people leading blind people. Granted, I suppose I would be one-eyed in that conversation. It seems the CC licenses indeed make it easy for the artists to apply them to new work, and there's good work being done to promote this. But what when someone actually wants to reuse them? If you are going to reuse an exact copy, it seems easy enough... almost. The CC is promoted as being something you can just 'copy and create derivative works', but I believe that grouping these two together misleads people to think that the terms for copying and creating derivative works are the same, when they are not. For example, if I find a CC-BY image, I can't just sublicense the image under the CC-BY-SA. But, I could just change the image's format from .png to .jpg, and that restriction is removed. I was going to make a longer post, but seeing as how much spam the official forum has and how many unanswered questions there are, I don't want to be dissapointed when I get no reply. - Eduardo Hernandez _______________________________________________ cc-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-devel
