If you look at what is listed for Attribution it says: You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ But the problem is, almost no author/licensor specify anything in this regard. So how are you supposed to do what they ask? That's why I outlined the attribution part. As for the commercial, bit. Won't it ultimately be up to a court to decide what something like "commercial use" is? I was attempting to define what I consider "commercial use" so that you would know if I had a problem with what you planned to do. Even the CC folks don't seem to be sure what NonCommercial means: "So the topic of what constitutes a "noncommercial use" under those Creative Commons licenses that contain the NonCommercial license option has been a perennial source of debate over the years" http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/5752 I think I worded it badly when I wrote: "you might as well outline what you think it means" in this case. I was not trying to redefine what a CC license is, only clarify what *I* think it means. Pete -- http://tinkernet.org/ videoblog for the future... Yahoo!
