We have chosen CC license for the publication of our magazine. At that time we have asked the opinion of a lawyer to be sure what exactly the risks are. I am not certain if your question refers to the type of the license or the version of the license, but shortly, here are the clarifications we received: - The version of the license: all versions are totally equivalent internationally and in terms of information share there is no difference in using a license from one country or another. This choice is not related with the language of the content but what differs is the following: if there will be any problem of illegal use of the available content (that may happen with or without the CC license) the legal process that follows will develop conforming to the law of the respective country. If you will choose the license belonging to your own country, the respective judiciary system will be applied. - The type of the license: the CC website explains everything and the FAQ section is very useful. In addition, the license is a very good way to share any kind of content because even the most permissive license obliges the users to give credits to their original authors. I would like to add that the adoption of CC license is, by our opinion, a correct way to give open access to information to the people without prejudicing anything to the information itself. Hope this will help. Teodora Poiata Editor __ e_conservation magazine www.e-conservationline.com
