Development of Creative Commons licenses

["Prodromos Tsiavos" <p.tsiavos AT lse.ac.uk>]

Hi Terry,

In the implementation of the Greek CC licences, after discussions with CC 
International, we have opted for the following clause in section 4g of the 
CC_BY_NC_SA:

"Moral rights remain unaffected to the extent they are recognized and are 
non waivable by applicable law."

I hope such wording addresses some of your concerns.

best,
pRo
