Cc-uk mailing list

Hello - I am new to this list and I work for the DCMS (Department of
Culture, Media and Sport). I am very interested in how Creative Commons
could be used for public sector and museum-based projects.

I am not clear about the legal status of Creative Commons in England. If for
example a museum were to put some of its content under a CC license, what
would be the legal status of the content at the moment?

Is there a future point at which the licenses would be more valid and if so
when is this expected to happen?

Sorry if these questions are rather old hat for the members of the list but
a clarification would be very useful.

All the best, Damian
