Hi all,

Question 2. Accepting the licence: using the work or exercising the rights

Original CCPL:
By exercising any rights to the work provided here, you accept and agree 
to be bound by the terms of this licence.

BE-CCPL:
By using a work in a way covered by any rights provided here...


I don't really understand why this modification was made.  What is the 
issue you are trying to solve?

Is the goal to limit the scope to exercising rights to the work that are 
covered by copyright law?
What if a user claims to have a patent (inasfar as that is possible) or 
claims some other right to the work?
The user could continue to benefit from the license while sueing others 
for patent infringement?
