Dear All,

Sorry for the late reply but I was trying to get all possible comments before
making the changes.

This is version 3.01 of the license and it incorporates most of the comments
I
have received in the latest consultation phase.

In particular the following concerns have been addressed:
1. Being clear about the sublicensing issue as well as addressing the
question of who licenses what when a New Version of the Work is distributed.
Sections 7.I and 7.II are dealing explicitly with this issue.
2. One of the commentators suggested that section 3.Va does not add
anything to the license but I have chosen not to remove it as it is contained
in CC 2.0 and makes clear that the terms of the license should not be
altered.
What is your opinion on that?
3. The NonCommercial term s.3Vd is considered as too restrictive by some
commentators. Opinions?
4. We have excluded any warranty of title on behalf of the Rightsholder
but there were people asking for it to be put back. Comments?
5. I have removed all the provisions related to the integrity right. I
did
not include explicit waiver of the right (although this would be my
preference
for extra certainty) to follow the US model. I think that we should follow
the
Canadian model that has the Integrity right as an extra License Element and
offer it as an option although I assume Cory would not be a fan of such an
approach…
6. The word “License” was changed to “Licence”
7. “legally recognised” was added in s.3. I did not remove exemptions as
the term is also used in Copyright literature.
8. The definition of “royalty” was added
9. I re-organised section 3III to make it more readable. This was input
from our latest focus group.
10. Changed the word “attribution” back to “credit”, as easier to
understand
11. added definition for URI
12. the additional note were not put as footnotes to make sure that
people
will read them.
13. The word “Rightsholder” was used instead of “Owner” (good point!)
14. Licensed the license under itself. Comments?
15. Made all the changes that Rob suggested but the one regarding
s.3.IV.g.
I think that this should remain as it is.
16. I restructured the last section of the licence to increase
readability
17. The text of the licence is now rather extensive (8 pages) but
hopefully
is self-explanatory


Please let me know what you think the soonest possible!

Best,
Prodromos
