Dear all!

Welcome to the discussion of the Creative Commons license for Hong Kong! You will find the draft including some comments of the substantial legal changes here: http://creativecommons.org/international/hk/

I would like to take this opportunity and thank Dr. Yahong Li, Alice Lee (Legal Project Leads) and Rebecca MacKinnon (Public Project Lead) for their wonderful work and effort on this project.

Please feel free to review, comment, and make suggestions to things that will help the licenses comply with Hong Kong law. The role of the discussion is to start the public debate and to make the least amount of changes necessary to bring the license into accord with Hong Kong law. Also, please feel free to ask general questions about the Creative Commons licenses in the cc-mailing list: http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-licenses

Part of the fun of this discussion will be, I hope, that we get to compare the quirks and eccentricities of our respective nations' copyright laws.

We expect the archived discussions to serve as a history of this experience. That way, your input will continue be useful to anyone from any country even after the discussion for Hong Kong is completed. 

I am very much looking forward to a fruitful and open discussion!

Thank you very much.

All the best,

Catharina
