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.

GNU Free Documentation License Compatibility with Creative Commons licensing terms
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:
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-creative-commons-toolkit.html
GNU Free Documentation License Compatibility with Creative Commons licensing terms
1 The work must have been produced on a "Massive Multiauthor
Collaboration Site" (MMC), such as a public for example.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-creative-commons-toolkit.html
GNU Free Documentation License Compatibility with Creative Commons licensing terms
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.

GNU Free Documentation License Compatibility with Creative Commons licensing terms
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

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

Creative Commons Types of Creative Commons licenses
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.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-creative-commons-toolkit.html
Creative Commons Types of Creative Commons licenses
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
Creative Commons Types of Creative Commons licenses
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.

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

Creative Commons Jurisdiction ports
1 Creative Commons jurisdiction ports
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-creative-commons-toolkit.html
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
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-creative-commons-toolkit.html
Creative Commons Jurisdiction ports
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.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-creative-commons-toolkit.html
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.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-creative-commons-toolkit.html
Creative Commons General criticism
1 Some critics contend that the Creative Commons licensing system dissuades content producers from coordinating efforts to modernize
copyright law.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-creative-commons-toolkit.html
Creative Commons General criticism
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.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-creative-commons-toolkit.html
Creative Commons General criticism
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
Creative Commons General criticism
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
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-creative-commons-toolkit.html
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.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-creative-commons-toolkit.html
Creative Commons License misuse
1 This situation is, however, not specific to Creative Commons
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-creative-commons-toolkit.html
Creative Commons License misuse
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.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-creative-commons-toolkit.html
Creative Commons License misuse
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.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-creative-commons-toolkit.html
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.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-creative-commons-toolkit.html
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.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-creative-commons-toolkit.html
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."
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-creative-commons-toolkit.html
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.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-creative-commons-toolkit.html
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:
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-creative-commons-toolkit.html
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 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.

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.
