Resend: first message rejected as too large.
>From a quick read-through there seem to be the following errors:
1. Index page: substitute ³CC EW Licences² for ³CC UK Lincence¹ (sic) and in
title of page.
2. Attribution, perhaps some others but I didn¹t make a note, jumps from
clause 2.2 to 2.4.
3. All three Œnon-commercial¹ editions are drafted so as actually to allow
commercial use.
4. One, Œnon-commercial¹, has no definition of non-commercial although the
other two do.
5. Attribution/non-commercial /no derivatives allows creation of derivatives
as well as commercial, compare 2.1 bullets 2 to 4 with bullet 7.
6. Attribution/no derivatives, delete ³Derivative Works or² in 2.1 bullet 3,
³the Derivative Work or² in bullet 5.
7. In definition clause in all six, substitute ŒEngland and Wales¹ for ŒUK¹
(following correct use in preamble)
8. Throughout, substitute Œlicence¹ for Œlicense¹ when used as a noun
(license is the verb only in British English).
9. The words ŒEngland and Wales¹ should be inserted in the subtitle
immediately below ŒLegal Code¹ (it¹s only the generic licence that doesn¹t
state its jurisdiction).

But I haven¹t done a proper proof-readingŠ There are other drafting points
which may be policy questions, e.g. inconsistent use of singular/plural,
using ŒLicensor¹ as synonymous with ³original author¹: presumably all of
these have been discussed.

Hi all
Finally after 16th months we are there!
You can find the CC England and Wales licences online
at
http://users.ox.ac.uk/~inet0009/creative_commons/
Before they go finally on the Creative Commons website pls help us reviewing
the licences for mistakes, problems with numbering etc...which might have
occurred during the creation of the different versions in XHTML.
Thanks
