The List is a new web app and Android app from Creative Commons.

I would have thought that Creative Commons would have learned its lesson about the issues related to model releases, when version 1.0 of the CC license was released.

If it has, where is the data related to model releases?
Especially since the apparent position of the organization has been that model releases are too complex, locale specific, industry specific, and usage specific, to even contemplate a universal model release that is legally viable worldwide.

Whilst GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE is ostensibly both an open license, and a free license, by selecting it, the implication is that this is something that will be useful only after the "secret sauce" is purchased.

Read it here:
https://github.com/creativecommons/list/blob/master/contributing.md
and please let us have your feedback either here or via GitHub Issues.

Creative Commons has copyright law as its area of expertise. Most, if not all of the software it has developed, or sponsored, has been abandoned. Consequently, Creative Common lacks the street cred, as a software developer, to require contributor agreements up front.
