Hi all

In the lead up to our Building an Australasian Commons
<http://creativecommons.org.au/australasiancommons> event, CCau is very
pleased to announce that we have (finally) finished the first drafts of our
version 3.0 licences.

So, in the spirit of crowd sourcing and open democracy, before we finalise
them we thought we'd see what others had to say about them. So we're
releasing two of the draft licences for public consultation: Attribution (BY)
<http://creativecommons.org.au/materials/BY_v3_Aus_June_08_draft.pdf> and
Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike (BY-NC-SA)
<http://creativecommons.org.au/materials/BY_NC_SA_v3_Aus_June_08_draft.pdf>.

Getting everyone's feedback on the proposed v3.0 licences is particularly
important because we've decided to depart slightly from our traditional
drafting approach. Rather than writing the licences as a straight translation
from the Unported licences provided by CC International, we've instead
decided to base them on the excellent plain English licences produced last
year by our friends in New Zealand, which they in turn based on the England
and Wales licences. We're also adding some clarifying language on the
licensing of derivative works to the BY and BY-NC licences which isn't in
either the Unported licences or the New Zealand licences - so we wanted to
see what people thought about this.

So if you have the time, take a glance over the new licences and let us know
what you think. If you have any comments, you can send them to us directly at
info AT creativecommons.org.au. Or, better yet, send them to the CCau mailing
list <http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-au> - that way we can get
some community discussion going on any issues raised.
