Dear All,

We have made further changes, together with the iCC team, to produce the 
version of the draft licence that you may find attached.

The following issues remain to be resolved:
(a)	The “bare licence” issue: many of you have already raised the question 
of whether this is an agreement or a bare licence. Lessig was explicit in a 
meeting we had in Oxford in late May 2004 that the intention is the CC licences 
to be bare licences rather than agreements/ contracts. The BBC’s wording of the 
CA licence indicates that it may be an agreement/contract rather than a bare 
licence. I will clarify the issue with the BBC legal team and resolve it ASAP. 
(b)	Waiving the integrity right: iCC is considering whether there should be 
a separate IN (i.e. integrity) Licence Element. Our position in relation to the 
CC-UK licences is to explicitly waive it for clarity and certainty reasons and 
iCC seems to be fine with it, but the question of whether there should be an IN 
Licence Element remains open. We are also interested in your comments on the 
wording of the waiver clause. 
(c)	Regarding section 7.1.: It may not be possible to remove this clause 
before CC takes such a decision for version 3.0 of the CC licences, but I will 
raise the point with the iCC team.
(d)	Could you please state particular reasons why there may be an 
incompatibility in relation to clause 2.6 (Collecting Societies) between the CC-
UK licence and the original CC licences? 

I am looking forward for your comments (and the weekend to come) ;-)

Best,
pRo
