Hi everyone, Re. below, if you are not already aware of this development, for those of you creating or purchasing open-source digital materials, here is an interesting development in licensing arrangements. See http://www.cippic.ca/icommons-canada About iCommons Canada Welcome to the iCommons Canada project. As part of an international effort to facilitate the availability of open-source licenses, the Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic (CIPPIC) is translating the popular Creative Commons license (CCL) for use under Canadian law. Once complete, the Canadian Creative Commons license (CCCL) will enable Canadian digital creators to independently construct and attach copyright licenses to their works. Read: No lawyers required! The CCL has been embraced by creators world-wide and can currently be found in use on over 3,000,000 digital artworks ranging from text to sound to computer graphics as well as the websites through which they are promoted. ____________________________________________________ Leo J.
