Dear All,

After another round of discussions with the BBC, I am sending you today the 
following documents for comments/ info:
(a)     The latest version of the BBC Creative Archive Licence
(b)     A CC-UK licence based on the BBC licence with an explicit inclusion 
of 
the Integrity right
(c)     A CC-UK licence based on the BBC licence with an explicit waiver of 
the 
Integrity right
(d)     A short account of the Moral rights issues in the CC-UK project and 
the 
implications of some proposed solutions.

The issues we are currently phasing are:
(a)     Compatibility with CC 2.0, whereas retaining maximum compatibility 
with 
the BBC creative archive licence. The ideal would be to go for a single 
licence 
for both the Creative Archive and the CC-UK. This seems to be impossible 
because of the particular provisions that the BBC needs to include in 
relation 
to:
i.      Territorial limitations for the use of the Creative Archive material 
(only UK)
ii.     Inclusion of warranties for the ownership of the rights on the work 
(the Licensor has to have the rights over the Original Work and offer a 
warranty for that purpose)
iii.    Integrity Right in an extended version [No Endorsement] because of 
internal policy/ charter obligations (see section 2.1.5 in the BBC licence)
iv.     Omission of all CC related clauses
Hence, we are thinking of going for a version of the CC-UK licence that will 
be 
most compatible to the BBC licence without compromising the Licence Elements 
of 
the original CC 2.0. This is the CC-UK 4.03 with waiver of moral rights. I am 
also including a version of CC-UK 4.03 with assertion of the Integrity right 
as 
an option for consideration
(b)     Compatibility with the Canadian and Australian CC licences. The 
drafting team of Australia is –rightly- concerned with UK, Canada and 
Australia 
adopting a common policy concerning the issue of moral rights. Canada has 
chosen to waive the moral rights, but I am slightly concerned with the 
implementation of their solution (check the document concerning CC-UK moral 
rights position)

I would be very grateful if (for once more) you could post some comments on 
the 
aforementioned documents/ issues.

Thanks,
Prodromos
