Development of Creative Commons licenses

[Francesco Poli <invernomuto AT paranoici.org>]

Hello again,
Section 3(b)(1)(C) of CC-by-sa-v4.0draft2 states:

[...]
>      (1) You must release the Adaptation under one of the following:
[...]
>          [or
>          (C) a Creative Commons ported license (either this or a later
>          license version) containing the same License Elements as this
>          Public License],[Note] or
>
> [Note] Note that alternative (C) remains bracketed in this draft because
> the question of porting for 4.0 is undecided and will be subject to
> discussion upon publication of the next draft.
[...]

Once again, I personally suggest to *not* port v4.0 licenses to
specific jurisdictions.  I think the right approach is striving to
create international licenses that work well in as many jurisdictions
as possible, without the need of porting them to each local
jurisdiction.

I also reiterate the recommendation to introduce explicit one-way
conversion clauses

 * that allow redistribution of CC-by-sa-v4.0-licensed works under the
   terms of the GNU GPL version 2 or any later version

 * that allow redistribution of CC-by-v4.0-licensed works under the
   terms of the zlib license:
   http://www.gzip.org/zlib/zlib_license.html

See my previous message [1] for more details.

I hope these suggestions may be implemented in the next draft.
