Hi Matt, I made my own contribution to one of the lists, essentially arguing that more education about what NC really means would be better placed before making a name change with all the things that implies (not least,
the piles of brochures that probably sit under your desk). While I actually like the proposed name better (CRR), on balance I haven’t been convinced that the benefit would be enough to justify the pain of change. Ultimately, in my view, it’s just a name
and I think we would be better to focus efforts on education that your use of the material must be non-commercial, not that your organisation must be non-commercial. Much of the debate has been distracted by what to me is a separate issue about free/non-free licences, i.e. whether CC should include
anything like NC at all.

On Behalf Of Matt McGregor Hi all, On the busy CCHQ email list (join here:
http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-community), CC counsel Kat Walsh has raised the issue of renaming the ‘non-commercial’ licences to ‘commercial rights reserved.’ The reasons for considering this are here:
http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Commercial_Rights_Reserved She asked the same question to the CC Affiliates email list, and I gave one obvious response:
“Changing the names of the licences would mean that we'd have to re-design our current resources--some of which are in print and/or were difficult/expensive to produce--and we're simply not going to be in a position to do this. This would
mean that most of our resources explaining the licences would conflict with the new licence names. This would continue to be the case for several years... I'll come back with any specific feedback from my neck of the woods as it arises.” So, neck of the woods: Is there any appetite for changing the NC licence name?
All the best, Matt Matt McGregor Creative Commons
