Hi! Did anyone read Creative Commons response to comments on CC-v3 draft(s)? A PDF file was sent to the cc-licenses mailing list and can be found here: http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/cc-licenses/2006-September/004027.html The first comment is quoted below: | One question that's come from Debian members is whether the anti-TPM | wording in the 3.0 draft would, as it stands, allow parallel | distribution. The draft says: | | /You may not impose any technological measures on the Work that | restrict the ability of a recipient of the Work from You to exercise | the rights granted to them under the License./ | | It could be argued that TPM applied to a Work, distributed with a | "cleartext" copy or with such a copy available from the licensee, does | not restrict the ability of the recipient to exercise their rights. And the response is: | This argument can certainly be made. CC does not feel that it, as | license steward, should opine on the likelihood with which a court in | any jurisdiction would uphold this argument if the issue were | litigated. Hence, it seems that CC refuses to disclose the intended meaning of the clause... Is this a dead end? Have we to wait for a court case before we can decide if (some) CC-v3 licenses meet the DFSG?!? This is really frustrating... :-( The last comment is quoted below: | Finally, please can someone tell us where to find the record of the | rejections by international affiliates and how the CC decision-making | works? I've had a bit of a search of creativecommons.org but haven't | found details. I thank the cc-nl lead for explaining his motives | here, but I'm only guessing about the others. which seems to be the question raised by MJ Ray in http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/cc-licenses/2006-August/003950.html The response is: | There is no record of the reasons other than the reasons stated in my | blog post of August 9, 2006 | (http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/6017). Mmmmh, another non-answer? :-( -- But it is also tradition that times *must* and always do change, my friend. -- from _Coming to America_ .....................................................
