[okfn-discuss] Dec 4 Next Steps: Creative Commons NonCommercial and NoDerivatives discussion

Wed Dec 5 00:51:19 UTC 2012

Hi all:

You'll recall that there has been quite a bit of recent discussion about 
the future of the CC non-free licenses [1] [2] [3]. Of course, this is not 
the first time this has come up, but it's something the CC community should 
continue to debate and grapple with.

Back in August we wrote a blog post on the subject [4] and promised to keep 
the conversation going. We formed an lightweight NC/ND working group to 
take a look at the arguments and recommendations from the various 
individuals and groups. We've generated a few TO-DO items to attempt to 
address in some fashion the issues raised. We have aggregated these 
proposed actions [5] and would appreciate feedback you have. Note that none 
of these proposed action items are set in stone. *If you have comments or 
suggestions, please post it to the list (note this is also going out on 
CC-Community) by COB December 11. *

Again, the wiki page is http://wiki.creativecommons.org/NC_ND_discussion

Thank you, 

timothy
