I'd have to agree it was an excellent presentation, and it is a happy 
thing that CC-Scotland was launched.

I also understand the Moral Rights issue wrt CC properly for the first 
time (IANAL). Having reviewed the CC-Scotland draft (from 
creativecommons.org), I'm really happy how readable it is, and my one 
query is about clause 2.3.
It appears to allow licensing of derivative works under the same 
conditions but using one of the other 'ported' licenses which seems to 
make sense to allow people in other countries to release their works 
under an appropriate licence... is this the intention?
It also allows licensing of derivative works under the BBC CA license, 
and while I don't have a copy of the drafts that have been mailed the 
list to hand, from memory it is more restrictive and not under the 
control of CC. This therefore seems to be a strange property of a 
share-alike licence, which effectively allows the BBC more rights over 
a CC SA licensed work than any other person/body on the planet 
(especially if the portability I've mentioned above exists in all the 
CC licences). This BBC thing doesn't seem to be in the CC-EW drafts 
mentioned recently at http://users.ox.ac.uk/~inet0009/creative_commons/

Other than that, I'm excited by the progress being made and the 
existence of CC-Scotland,
David Illsley
