GNU Free Documentation License Compatibility with Creative Commons licensing terms

1 Although the two licenses work on similar copyleft principles, the GFDL is not compatible with the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike

license.



1 However, at the request of the media Foundation, version 1.3 added a time-

limited section allowing specific types of websites using the GFDL to additionally

offer their work under the CC-BY-SA license. These exemptions allow a GFDL-based

collaborative project with multiple authors to transition to the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license, without first obtaining the permission of

every author, if the work satisfies several conditions:



1 The work must have been produced on a "Massive Multiauthor

Collaboration Site" (MMC), such as a public for example.



1 If external content originally published on a MMC is present on the site, the work must have been licensed under

Version 1.3 of the GNU FDL, or an earlier version but with the "or any later version" declaration, with no cover texts

or invariant sections. If it was not originally published on an MMC, it can

only be relicensed if it were added to an MMC before November 1, 2008.



1 To prevent the clause from being used as a general compatibility measure, the license itself only

allowed the change to occur before August 1, 2009

replace copyright, but are based upon

ithttps://store.theartofservice.com/the-creative-commons-toolkit.html

Creative Commons

1 Creative Commons is governed by a board of directors and a technical advisory board


Creative Commons Aim and influence

1 Beyond that, Creative Commons has provided "institutional, practical and

legal support for individuals and groups wishing to experiment and communicate with culture more

freely."


Creative Commons Aim and influence

1 Lessig maintains that modern culture is dominated by traditional content distributors in order to maintain and

strengthen their monopolies on cultural products such as popular

music and popular cinema, and that Creative Commons can provide

alternatives to these restrictions.


Creative Commons Board

1 Previous board members include:


Creative Commons Board

1 CC's Audit Committee has three members, who are also members of

the Board. As of 2013 they are Laurie Racine, Eric Saltzman and Molly

Shaffer Van Houweling. Past Audit Committee members include Brian

Fitzgerald and Lawrence Lessig


Creative Commons Staff

1 As of 2013 the staff members of Creative Commons include:


Creative Commons Staff

1 Diane Peters (General Counsel)


Creative Commons Affiliate network

1 In 2011, there are more than 100 affiliates working in over 70

jurisdictions to support and promote CC activities around the world.


Creative Commons South Korea

1 Since then, CC Korea has been actively promoting the liberal and open culture of creation as well as leading the diffusion of Creative

Commons in the country.


Creative Commons Corporate support

1 In addition to individual donations, Creative Commons has the following corporate

supporters:



1 Sustainer Level (committed for 5 years)



1 The Beal Fund of Triangle Community

Foundation, on behalf of Lulu.com



1 Investor Level ($25,000 and up)



1 Mountain Equipment Co-op


Creative Commons Types of Creative Commons licenses

1 Creative Commons licenses consist of four major condition modules: Attribution (BY), requiring attribution to the original author; Share Alike (SA), allowing derivative works under the same or a similar license (later or jurisdiction version); Non-Commercial (NC),

requiring the work is not used for commercial purposes; and No Derivative Works (ND), allowing only the original work, without

derivatives. These modules are combined to currently form six major licenses of the Creative

Commons:https://store.theartofservice.com/the-creative-commons-toolkit.html


1 Attribution Share Alike (CC BY-SA)



1 Attribution No Derivatives (CC BY-

ND)



1 Attribution Non-Commercial (CC BY-

NC)



1 Attribution Non-Commercial No

Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND)



1 As of the current versions, all Creative Commons licenses allow the "core right" to redistribute a work for

non-commercial purposes without modification. The NC and ND options will make a work non-free according

to the Definition of Free Cultural Works.



1 An additional special license-like contract is the CC0 option, or "No Rights Reserved."

This license dedicates a work to the public domain (or an equivalent status in

jurisdictions where a dedication to public domain is not possible). Compared with a "public domain" statement added to the work, a CC0 statement is less ambiguous

and achieves the desired effect on a global scale, rather than limited to some

jurisdictions.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-creative-commons-toolkit.html


1 For software, Creative Commons endorses three free licenses created

by other institutions: the BSD License, the CC GNU LGPL license,

and the CC GNU GPL.


Creative Commons Use of Creative Commons licenses

1 List of works available under a Creative Commons License


Creative Commons Use of Creative Commons licenses

1 Creative Commons maintains a content directory of organizations

and projects using Creative Commons licenses. On its website CC also provides case studies of projects using CC licenses across the world.

CC licensed content can also be accessed through a number of content directories and search

engines (see CC licensed content directories).


Creative Commons Jurisdiction ports

1 Creative Commons jurisdiction ports



1 To address this issue, Creative Commons has started to port the various licenses to accommodate

local copyright and private law



1 For the upcoming version 4 of the Creative Commons licenses, they will

be generic licenses that are applicable to most jurisdictions and

do not usually require ports.


Creative Commons General criticism

1 The 'some rights reserved' concept is therefore not an alternative to, but rather the very nature of classical copyright." Other critics fear that Creative Commons could erode the copyright system over time or allow

"some of our most precious resources — the creativity of individuals — to be simply tossed into the commons

to be exploited by whomever has spare time and a magic marker." Some critics question whether Creative Commons licenses are useful for artists, and suggest

that Creative Commons primarily serves a "remix culture" and fails to meet the real needs of financial

compensation and recognition of artists or worry that the lack of rewards for content producers will dissuade

artists from publishing their work.



1 Some critics contend that the Creative Commons licensing system dissuades content producers from coordinating efforts to modernize

copyright law.



1 Creative Commons founder Lawrence Lessig counters that copyright laws have not always offered the strong and seemingly indefinite protection

that today's law provides. Rather, the duration of copyright used to be limited to much shorter terms of

years, and some works never gained protection because they did not

follow the now-abandoned compulsory format.



1 Another critic questions whether Creative Commons is the commons that it purports to be, given that at least some restrictions

apply to people's ability to use the resources within the common field. This is restricted entirely within the private rights of others and has nothing to do with rights shared by all. Creative Commons also does

not define "creativity" or what aspects a work requires in order to become part of the

commons.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-creative-commons-toolkit.html


1 Critics such as Giles Moss argue that the founding of Creative Commons is

not the proper mechanism for creating a commons of original

content. Rather, a commons should be created, and its presence

preserved, through the political process and political activism, not

through lawyers "writing down new rules".https://store.theartofservice.com/the-creative-commons-toolkit.html

Creative Commons License proliferation and incompatibility

1 The Creative Commons website states, "Since each of the six CC

licenses functions differently, resources placed under different licenses may not necessarily be

combined with one another without violating the license terms." Works

licensed under incompatible licenses may not be recombined in a

derivative work without obtaining permission from the copyright owner


Creative Commons License proliferation and incompatibility

1 The compatibility issue is especially relevant because the most frequently

used licenses, the non-free "non-commercial" licenses (CC BY-NC-SA

or CC BY-NC-ND) and the open attribution-share-alike license (CC BY-

SA, used, e. g., by ) cannot be combined.


Creative Commons License misuse

1 This situation is, however, not specific to Creative Commons



1 Additionally, people wishing to use a Creative Commons-licensed work would have to determine if their

particular use is allowed under the license or if they need additional

permission.



1 Lessig wrote that the point of Creative Commons is to provide a middle ground between two extreme views of copyright

protection—one demanding that all rights be controlled, and the other arguing that none

should be controlled. Creative Commons provides a third option that allows authors to

pick and choose which rights they want to control and which they want to grant to others. The multitude of licenses reflects the multitude of rights that can be passed on to subsequent

creators.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-creative-commons-toolkit.html

Creative Commons Criticism of requirements

1 Many criticize that four out of the six Creative Commons licenses are

neither free nor open because of the restrictions they place on reuse, with the definition of open being "A piece of content or data is open if anyone is free to use, reuse, and redistribute

it — subject only, at most, to the requirement to attribute and share-

alike."https://store.theartofservice.com/the-creative-commons-toolkit.html

Creative Commons Attribution

1 All current non-CC0 licenses require attribution, which can be

inconvenient for works based on multiple other works.


Creative Commons The Free Software Foundation

1 Some[which?] of Creative Commons licenses have been denounced by

FSF founder Richard Stallman because, he says, they "do not give everyone [...] minimum freedom" "to

share, noncommercially, any published work". Those licenses have

since been "retired" by Creative Commons.


Creative Commons The Free Software Foundation

1 CC has replaced what could have been a call for a world where

'essential rights are unreservable' with the relatively hollow call for

'some rights reserved.'" Some critics fear that Creative Commons'

popularity may detract from the more stringent goals of other free

content organizations.


Creative Commons Other criticism of the non-commercial license

1 Other critics, such as Erik Möller, raise concerns about the use of Creative Commons' non-

commercial license. Works distributed under the Creative Commons Non-Commercial license are not compatible with many open-content sites,

including , which explicitly allow and encourage some commercial uses. Möller explains that

"the people who are likely to be hurt by an -NC license are not large corporations, but small publications like weblogs, advertising-funded

radio stations, or local newspapers."


Creative Commons Other criticism of the non-commercial license

1 Lessig responds that the current copyright regime also harms

compatibility and that authors can lessen this incompatibility by

choosing the least restrictive license. Additionally, the non-commercial license is useful for preventing

someone else from capitalizing on an author's work when the author still

plans to do so in the future.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-creative-commons-toolkit.html

Creative Commons Debian

1 However, version 3.0 of the Creative Commons licenses addressed these

concerns and is considered to be compatible with the DFSG.


Creative Commons Creative Commons licensed works in court

1 Some works licensed using Creative Commons licenses have been

involved in several court cases. Creative Commons itself was not a party to any of these cases; they

only involved licensors or licensees of Creative Commons licenses. When the cases went as far as decisions by

judges (that is, they were not dismissed for lack of jurisdiction or

were not settled privately out of court), they have all validated the

legal robustness of Creative Commons public licenses. Here are

some notable cases:


Creative Commons Dutch tabloid

1 Professor Bernt Hugenholtz, main creator of the Dutch CC license and director of the Institute for Information Science of the

University of Amsterdam, commented, "The Dutch Court's decision is especially

noteworthy because it confirms that the conditions of a Creative Commons license

automatically apply to the content licensed under it, and bind users of such content even

without expressly agreeing to, or having knowledge of, the conditions of the license."


Creative Commons Virgin Mobile

1 The photo was taken by Alison's church youth counselor, Justin Ho-

Wee Wong, who uploaded the image to Flickr under the Creative

Commons license


Creative Commons SGAE vs Fernández

1 In the fall of 2006, collecting society Sociedad General de Autores y Editores (SGAE) in Spain sued

Ricardo Andrés Utrera Fernández, owner of a disco bar located in

Badajoz who played CC-licensed music. SGAE argued that Fernández

should pay royalties from public performance of music during the

period between November 2002 and August 2005. The Lower Court rejected the collecting society's

claims because the owner of the bar proved that the music he was using

was not managed by the society.


Creative Commons GateHouse Media, Inc. vs. That's Great News, LLC

1 GateHouse claimed that TGN violated the non-commercial and no-

derivative works restrictions on GateHouse Creative Commons

licensed work when TGN published the material on its website

1 Two Creative Commons licences, Attribution and Attribution-

ShareAlike, are libre licences (they are marked as ‘approved for free

cultural works’). Creative Commons Zero is also libre. The remaining four

main licences are not libre.


Open Source For You - Creative commons licensing

1 A month after publication, all articles in the magazine are placed under the Creative Commons licenses|Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0

Unported license except for interviews, verbatim quotes, or other

matter as explicitly exempted.


Creative Commons License

1 For example, the Creative Commons Attribution (BY) license allows one to share and remix (create derivative

works), even for commercial use, so long as attribution is given.


Creative Commons License - Versions

1 As of July 2011, Creative Commons licenses have been ported to over 50 different jurisdictions worldwide. No

new ports have been implemented in version 4.0 of the license, which was

released on 25 November 2013. Version 4.0 discourages using ported versions and instead acts as a single

global license which can be used without porting.


Creative Commons License - Attribution

1 Since 2004, all current licenses require attribution of the original

author. The attribution must be given to the best of [one's] ability using the information available. Generally this

implies the following:



1 *'Include any copyright notices (if applicable)'. If the work itself

contains any copyright notices placed there by the copyright holder, those notices must be left intact, or

reproduced in a way that is reasonable to the medium in which

the work is being re-published.



1 *'Cite the author's name, screen name, or user ID', etc. If the work is being published on the Internet, it is nice to link that name to the person's

profile page, if such a page exists.



1 *'Cite the work's title or name (if applicable)', if such a thing exists. If the work is being published on the

Internet, it is nice to link the name or title directly to the original work.



1 *'Cite the specific CC license the work is under'. If the work is being

published on the Internet, it is nice if the license citation links to the

license on the CC website.



1 *'Mention if the work is a derivative work or adaptation', in addition to

the above, one needs to identify that their work is a derivative work, e.g.,

“This is a Finnish translation of [original work] by [author].” or

“Screenplay based on [original work] by [author].”


Creative Commons License - Non-commercial licenses

1 The non-commercial option included in some Creative Commons licenses is controversial in definition, as it's

sometimes unclear what can be considered a noncommercial setting, and application, since its restrictions

differ from the principles of open content promoted by other

permissive licenses.


Creative Commons License - Zero / Public domain

1 Besides licenses, Creative Commons also offers a way to release material into the public domain through CC0,

a legal tool for waiving as many rights as legally possible, worldwide. Development of CC0 began in 2007 and the tool was released in 2009.



1 In 2010, Creative Commons announced its Public Domain Mark, a tool for labeling works already in the public domain. Together, CC0 and the

Public Domain Mark replace the Public Domain Dedication and

Certification, which took a U.S.-centric approach and co-mingled

distinct operations.



1 In 2011, the Free Software Foundation added CC0 to its List of FSF approved software licenses|free

software licenses, making CC0 a recommended way of dedicating software to the public domain.



1 In the withdrawal message the Creative Commons representative

explained that CC0 was initially developed for the needs of the

scientific data community in order to help sharing data freely.


Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed - Creative Commons

1 In April/May 2011 the RCE released its image collection of 550,000 images on

beeldbank.cultureelerfgoed.nl.[http://creativecommons.nl/2011/05/23/449-318-fotos-van-

de-rijksdienst-cultureel-erfgoed-onder-cc/ 449.318 foto’s van de Rijksdienst Cultureel Erfgoed onder CC] In september 2012 the first uploads to Wikimedia Commons were

made. In December 2012 a bot was started to mass upload images. Approximately

450,000 images were uploaded.


Share-alike - Creative Commons

1 As with all six licences in the current Creative Commons suite, CC Attribution-ShareAlike and CC Attribution-NonCommercial-

ShareAlike require attribution (copyright)|attribution. According to

Creative Commons, the advantage of this license is that future users are

not able to add new restrictions to a derivative of your work; their

derivatives must be licensed the same way.


Share-alike - Creative Commons

1 The 3.0 version of the ShareAlike licenses had added a compatibility clause, allowing Creative Commons to declare a license compatible with

one of their ShareAlike licences, allowing it to be used instead of

exactly the same license for derivatives. , however, Creative Commons has not approved any

licenses for compatibility.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-creative-commons-toolkit.html

Share-alike - History of Creative Commons ShareAlike Versions

1 Over the years, Creative Commons has issued 4 versions of the BY-SA

and BY-NC-SA licenses (1.0, 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0).



1 *Attribution-ShareAlike Version 1.0 Generic and Attribution-

NonCommerical-ShareAlike Version 1.0 Generic - Released December,

2002




NonCommerical-ShareAlike Version 2.0 Generic - Released May, 2004




NonCommerical-ShareAlike Version 2.5 Generic - Released June, 2005



1 *Attribution-ShareAlike Version 3.0 Unported and Attribution-

NonCommerical-ShareAlike Version 3.0 Unported - Released March, 2007


Open-source movement - The rhetorical discourse used in open source movements is now being broadened to include a larger group

of non-expert users as well as advocacy organizations. Several organized groups such as the Creative Commons and global

development agencies have also adopted the open source concepts according to their own aims and for their own purposes.Sullivan, J.

GFDL - Compatibility with Creative Commons licensing terms

1 However, at the request of the Wikimedia Foundation, version 1.3 added a time-

limited section allowing specific types of websites using the GFDL to additionally

offer their work under the CC-BY-SA license. These exemptions allow a GFDL-based

collaborative project with multiple authors to transition to the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license, without first obtaining the permission of

every author, if the work satisfies several conditions:



1 *The work must have been produced on a Massive Multiauthor

Collaboration Site (MMC), such as a public wiki for example.



1 *If external content originally published on a MMC is present on the

site, the work must have been licensed under Version 1.3 of the

GNU FDL, or an earlier version but with the or any later version

declaration, with no cover texts or invariant sections. If it was not

originally published on an MMC, it can only be relicensed if it were

added to an MMC before November 1, 2008.



1 To prevent the clause from being used as a general compatibility measure, the license itself only

allowed the change to occur before August 1, 2009


Al Jazeera - Creative Commons

1 On 13 January 2009, Al Jazeera released some of its broadcast quality footage from Gaza under a Creative Commons license. Contrary to business All Rights Reserved

standards, the license invites third parties, including rival broadcasters, to reuse and remix the footage, so long as Al Jazeera is credited. The videos are hosted on blip.tv,

which allows easy downloading and integration with Miro (software)|Miro.


Al Jazeera - Creative Commons

1 Al Jazeera also offers over 2,000 Creative Commons-licensed still

photos at their [http://www.flickr.com/photos/aljazee

1 The photos were released under a version of the Creative Commons

license that forbids commercial use and requires acknowledgement, but

1 In May 2009, Curry posted on his blog that another Dutch tabloid had

Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 - Version 4.0 and international use

1 The latest version 4.0 of the Creative Commons licenses, released on 25

November 2013, are generic licenses that are applicable to most

jurisdictions and do not usually require ports. No new ports have

been implemented in version 4.0 of the license. Version 4.0 discourages using ported versions and instead

acts as a single global license.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-creative-commons-toolkit.html

Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 - Attribution

1 Since 2004, all current licenses require attribution of the original author (the BY component). The

attribution must be given to the best of [one's] ability using the

information available. Generally this implies the following:


Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 - Adaptation

1 Rights in an adaptation can be expressed by a CC license that is

compatible with the status or licensing of the original work or

works on which the adaptation is based.


Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 - Legal aspects

1 The legal implications of large numbers of works having Creative Commons licensing is difficult to

predict, and there is speculation that media creators often lack insight to be able to choose the license which

best meets their intent in applying it.
