Since the idea is a CC license + another agreement, it would seem that
this kind of "hack" would work brilliantly... (btw, just talking to Mike
in the office, and he said this same idea predates CC on many lists and
has been brought up on many CC lists in the past, if anyone wants to
bomb for apples)
So, what you are getting at, for example: Joe has licensed his song
under CC BY-NC 3.0. He signed on with
fakecompanybrokercommercialrights.com so that if someone pays $2000, Joe
will release his work under a CC BY for all to use...CC+'s technical
infrastructure (metadata would allow for this)
Strayform.com is the closest to doing this right now, but would be
BRILLIANT if someone created this functionality in some business...hook
it up, and you will be famous...
IANAL, so would advise anyone to seek definitive legal advice if into...
Also, make sure you guys are adding these to the CCPlus page when you
come up with them...I'm monitoring and will help massage this around
when updated...and/or let us know :)
