The past year, we've been discussing human-readable contracts and release forms. Jon Phillips from Creative Commons has started a side project that does exactly this: http://www.ownterms.org/
"OwnTerms is designed as a repository for "boilerplate" legal documents: those that every web site, startup, or entrepreneur needs but doesn't want to draft in a lawyer for. Too often, these documents are simply copied and pasted from another site, with references changed where needed — and while the copyright status of legal documents is unclear, the cost and trouble of defending a suit for copyright infringement wouldn't be worth the effort." He's got a wiki that outlines what documents they want to make available: http://ownterms.pbwiki.com/ And a mailing list if you want to participate: http://lists.ownterms.org/listinfo.cgi/discussion-ownterms.org Jay -- http://jaydedman.com 917 371 6790 Video: http://ryanishungry.com Twitter: http://tinyurl.com/2aodyc RSS: http://tinyurl.com/yqgdt9 Yahoo!
