Thank you Russell for raising another extremely important point. You
are entirely correct in pointing out that for the CCCa to be of value
to Canadian creators,
"[c]onditions which are not clear in the commons deeds should
not exist in the license, or more specifically, conditions that exist in
Canadian copyright law that are not mentioned in the matching commons
deed
need to be explicitly waived."
Including the right of integrity in the Commons Deed and
Machine-Readable Code will be necessary irrespective of whether or not
this right is waived. To do so we will require both a layperson
explanation of the right of integrity and an accompanying CC icon. If
you have suggestions for an icon that can convey the concept of
'integrity', as expressed by the following two moral rights, please
send them to the the list or me directly.
> You must not do anything that results in the a material distortion,
or mutilation of the Work that is prejudicial to the Original Author’s
honour or reputation.
> You must not associate the Work with a product, service, cause or
institution that is prejudicial to the Original Author’s honour or
reputation.
I will be sure to keep the list updated on developments in implementing
the ability to waive the right of integrity as they arise.
/Marcus
