Development of Creative Commons licenses

hi

I don't know that catalogue right but from what Kaisa wrote I assume it 
is a special protection you receive if you compile a catalogue - 
irrespective of whether that is a collection/collective work in the 
copyright sense.

Anyways, what I wanted to clarify is that the database right was in fact 
already included in 3.0, but was then waived further down in the license 
text (instead of licensed). Thus, the possible change in 4.0 would only 
be to license it instead.

It's somewhat irritating to hear that there are actually more of those 
sui-generis rights out there. How to deal with that? To include them all 
by explcitly naming them would mean that the license becomes outdated 
once a new sui-generis right is introduced somewhere around the world. 
To "catch them all" (also in the future) via an abstract definition 
might be tough and raise legal uncertainties.

bad bad bad ...

Best
John
