[okfn-discuss] Youtube enables CC-BY license

Fri Jun 3 15:30:01 UTC 2011

I hope they'll add CC-BY-SA as well. I understand why non-free licenses like
NC would make things complicated, but BY-SA seems simple enough.

Still, this is a great step forward!

If anybody is interested, i made these video buffers to stick in at the end
of videos declaring them to be free cultural works: http://min.us/mvjyJ9c

I wanted something that is more than a license (my slides have license info
as well), to show people that it wasn't under just any CC license, but
specifically a free cultural work <http://freedomdefined.org>, and listed
the freedoms that gives them.

Also, we can ask them to support more licenses here, as well as freely
licensed music instead of that awful (in terms of the terms of use, not
music quality) "audio-swap" crap:
