Hi all,

 

Draft 3 of the 4.0 licences was released last week. Apologies for the delay in posting this: I was on leave, sans Internet.

Subject: Draft 3 of 4.0: Published for Comment
To: Development of Creative Commons licenses <cc-licenses AT lists.ibiblio.org>

I'm pleased to announce that today we are publishing draft 3 of the 4.0 license suite.  This formally kicks off the third and final public comment period.

Draft 3 discussion page:  http://wiki.creativecommons.org/4.0/Draft_3

All six licenses:  http://tinyurl.com/coe2ftr

 

We have a number of issues queued for discussion.  Starting this coming Tuesday, we will be posting to this list topics prepared for discussion and on which we'd especially like your feedback.  The topics are summarized on the main discussion page and detailed on the individual wiki pages.  Here are those that we have already prepared and that will start landing in your inboxes next week:

• Attribution:  indicating modifications; link backs
• ShareAlike compatibility
  • expanding compatibility mechanism to BY-NC-SA
  • mechanism for 1-way compatibility (e.g., to GPLv3 from BY-SA)
  • compatibility criteria and process
• Licensing of adaptations (BY and BY-NC)
• License interpretation

(see the Draft 3 treatment boxes on each of those pages for more details.)

 

For enthusiasts, we encourage you to review the licenses and start considering those topics now.  Please watch for our posts and share your thoughts in reply.

 

We owe all of you a debt of gratitude for your patience.  All of us at CC are really excited about how the licenses are shaping up, and look forward to a successful, final discussion period.

 

Diane

 

Cheers,

Matt
