Hi all,
Section 3(a)(3) of CC-by-nc-sa-v4.0draft1 states:
[...]
> (3) [If You Share the Licensed Work, You may not impose any
> effective technological measures on the Licensed Work that restrict
> the ability of a recipient of the Licensed Work from You to
> exercise the rights granted to that recipient under the terms of
> this Public License.]
>
> CC note: This provision is bracketed to denote that it requires
> additional public input, including further development of use
> cases. Proposals will be discussed during the public comment
> period on v4.0d1.
[...]
This is the infamous anti-DRM (or anti-TPM, if you prefer) clause,
probably the most controversial part of CC-v3.0 licenses.
It does not seem to have changed significantly.
As I said previously [1], I strongly recommend that this clause be
enhanced, so that it *explicitly* allows parallel distribution.

I hope this suggestion may be implemented in the next draft.
