Development of Creative Commons licenses

[Karl Ebener <myonlyb AT vollbio.de>]

Hi,

tnx again. I did not find the policies-page earlier.

To make it clear for me:

1. LICENSE: "Except where noted otherwise below in our Trademark 
Policy, all content on this site is licensed under a Creative Commons 
Attribution license. We do not assert a copyright in the text of our 
licenses. Modified versions of our licenses, however, should not be 
labeled as 'Creative Commons' licenses."
=> the license text is NOT under the Attribution license (?! because 
of "do not assert copyright in the text of our licenses"), I may 
change the license text but I have to

 a. Remove the images of Creative Commons and
 b. Remove all hints to Creative Commons
 c. I may link to creativecommons.org if I make it clear that this 
is not a CC license but a derivate.


2. BUTTONS: "Creative Commons License Buttons: The Creative Commons 
buttons that describe a key term of our license, such as BY, NC, ND, 
SA, Sampling, Sampling Plus and Noncommercial Sampling Plus may only 
be used in the context of pointing to a Creative Commons license on 
the Creative Commons server that includes that license term or to 
otherwise describe the Creative Commons license, that includes that 
license term and that applies to a particular work."
=> I cannot use the buttons since I won't use a license that is on 
the homepage as such.

Is that right?

Thank you very much!!

 Karl
