Creative Commons 3.0 license drafts published
Creative Commons has published the drafts of its next-generation 3.0 licenses, which refine the widely-used CC licenses (over 160,000,000 works were CC licensed in the first 3.5 years). These new licenses contain a number of improvements:
# Clauses 4(a) & (b) (both licenses) - language has been introduced to clarify that the anti-TPM restriction does not apply to private copying, only when a work is being shared.Link (Thanks, Ivo!)# Clause 4(a) (both licenses) - the ShareAlike condition has been clarified to confirm that the other jurisdiction licenses under which an SA-licensed work can be relicensed must be of the same license version or later (consistent with relicensing under the same jurisdiction/generic license).
# Clause 4(e) (new generic) - this clause has been substantially revised since the first draft was circulated on the list. The revisions reflect the ongoing work of the CC Working Group that has been set up to look at the issue of CC licenses and collecting societies and represents the agreed on policy for CC licenses going forward as regards the collection of collecting society royalties by CC licensors. It is designed to take into account the different systems that exist in different countries and will be reflected in the jurisdiction licenses that version to 3.0.
