[okfn-discuss] first Italian judgment about Creative Commons licenses

Fri Dec 26 21:23:27 UTC 2014

Simone -

Very interesting indeed. So, the implication as I read it from your excerpt
is that the court found the publisher did need to honor the -SA nature of
the published work in its subsequent dealings.

Is this accurate? I don't want to make you translate more of the settlement
to clarify, but any additional summary of the outcome is appreciated.

Thanks for sharing his case,

- Heath
