Development of Creative Commons licenses

["Sincaglia, Nicolas" <nsincaglia AT musicnow.com>]

Doug,

You are correct in saying you can sell the DVD if the works you are
using are not under a noncommercial license. 

I don't think a readme file on the DVD is against the rules of the
license but I could think of a better place to put it. I would suggest
you either add this information the end of the film as part of your
credits or add it to the liner notes on the DVD cover. 

Sections 4a and 4b of the CC-By License has some guidelines on how you
need to display the license and copyright notices. In the case of the
copyright notices, it states that these requirements are "reasonable to
the medium" so there are no strict rules on the exact location of these
notices. In regards to the CC license notice the only strict rule is
"You must keep intact all notices that refer to this License and to the
disclaimer of warranties." This means that if you use a work that
already has a CC notice included within it, you are not allowed to
remove it or relocate it to another location in your work.

Hope this helps,

Nick

Subject: [cc-licenses] "commercial" use of Att/Share-alike materials

This seems basic but I'm new and not finding this elsewhere.  I'm  
creating soccer highlight videos to be distributed via DVD for a  
small cost to families of our soccer team.  I want to use music  
licensed with a cc attribution/share-alike license.  My understanding  
then is that (provided it's not a "noncommercial" license) I can sell  
my DVDs BUT must allow others to make derivative works from them if  
they so choose, and, in fact, need to include the Creative Commons  
license somewhere in my work (a read me file on the DVD?).   Am I  
missing anything or misunderstanding anything?  Thanks for any  
clarification on this.

Doug
