cc-translation -- Discussion of a Creative Commons license that would allow translations of a work into global languages.

 

About cc-translation
English (USA)

Welcome to the Creative Commons translation list and thank you for joining this discussion. Over the next few weeks we'll be discussing what the Creative Commons translation license will look like, how it will be implemented and any ideas for potential licensees and licensors to launch the license.
The aim of this discussion is to get advice from users about:

a) what the translation license should look like i.e. a standalone license that allows licensors to retain all rights to their work, except those that allow others to develop a derivative translation of the work?

b) any new conditions of use by licensee e.g. requirement to send notice to licensor when new translation is published, any conditions that may respond to the licensor's concerns about maintaining control over the integrity of the translation?

c) any new conditions of use by licensor e.g. stipulate or suggest formats that make translation easier?

d) suggestions of authors and/or texts that we might target for the launch of the license?

e) translation and language diversity issues within Creative Commons itself - practical suggestions about how can we make the Creative Commons website, as well as other iCommons sites, more language diverse

f) any other issues that might be relevant.

We'd love to hear your suggestions and comments. Please include a brief introduction when you first post to the list and make clear in either the subject line or the top of the page what topic you're introducing/responding to - this will make the archive a lot more meaningful.
