Development of Creative Commons licenses

Hi everyone,

We are happy to announce publication of draft 2 of version 4.0 of our licenses for public comment.  

Blogpost:  http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/33632

Drafts and related documentation (BY-NC-SA and BY-SA only at this time).  Here you can view and download the comparison chart between 4.0d1 and 4.0d2, and a new chart comparing attribution and marking requirements across both drafts and 3.0.

Draft 2 Public Discussion Page (with summary of changes and links to more detailed explanations of changes)

  

We had hoped to publish a few weeks ago, but delayed in order to spend time on a few issues raised during the d1 public discussion.  Note that we have produced BY-SA as well as BY-NC-SA this time around, and expect to have those published in HTML on our website shortly for easier reference.

This public discussion period is shorter, expecting to be completed within 5-6 weeks if possible.  Although we will be focusing discussion on an identified set of open issues -- a few of which are carry-overs from the prior discussion period -- input on other topics is of course welcome.  Key among the topics to be discussed is that of compatibility with FAL and GPL.  We'll be updating this list on these topics shortly.  

Thanks for the productive discussions on draft 1.  We're eager to hear your feedback on draft 2.

Best,

Diane
