EFF OAL 2.0 was declared to be CC BY-SA 2.0. I believe the OAL pages are now offline, except in the Wayback Machine -- which itself is not answering for that page right now -- see the link in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Audio_License In addition to the licenses mentioned in this thread, there were a bunch of public content licenses created around 2000. I listed several of them on slide 29 of http://www.slideshare.net/mlinksva/lugradio-live-usa-2008-creative-commons but it would be neat if someone cataloged and summarized (including which ones if any are Free/Open and why, and whether there was any actual use) them all (I'm sure I missed some). Here's the relevant text for convenience, slightly edited: Slide 28: History (iii) Open content licenses (some of them Free): 1998: Open Content License 1999: Open Publication License 2000: GFDL, Free Art License 2001: EFF Open Audio License Slide 29: History (iv) Other early 2000s open content licenses (some of them Free): Design Science License Ethymonics Free Music Public License Open Music Green/Yellow/Red/Rainbow Licenses Open Source Music License No Type License Public Library of Science Open Access License Electrohippie Collective's Ethical Open Documentation License Slide 30: History (v) Versioning of Creative Commons licenses (some of them Free -- some of the licenses, not some of the versions): 2002: 1.0 2003 author of Open Content/Publication licenses recommends CC instead and PLoS adopts CC BY 2004: 2.0 2004 EFF OAL 2.0 declares CC BY-SA 2.0 its next version 2005: 2.5 2007: 3.0 Mike _______________________________________________ okfn-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.okfn.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/okfn-discuss
