In Puerto Rico, the law is unclear as to waivability of MR and conditions for their infringement. Our proposed license tries to deal with this by not waiving MR but letting enough room for courts to interpret MRs flexibly. If you have a chance, check out our documents here http://creativecommons.org/worldwide/pr/ and especially, a simple explanatory document here: http://creativecommons.org/worldwide/pr/english-changes.pdf
