'''CC+''' is '''CC official license (unmodified)''' + '''Another separate and independent agreement granting more permissions'''.

It is '''NOT''' a new or different license or any license at all, but a facilitation of '''morePermissions''' beyond '''ANY''' standard CC licenses. Worth emphasizing is that CC+ (and use of that mark) requires that the work be licensed under a standard CC license that provides a baseline set of permissions that have not been modified or customized. The plus (+) signifies that all of those same permissions are granted, plus more!

Note that in order to use CC+ the additional permissions need to be set forth in a separate document or resource -- the official legal code within the "corners" of the license cannot be added to or changed in any respect.

If you want to adopt CC+, please '''(1)''' implement [[#Easy_CC.2B_Markups|CC+ simple technology]] on your site, '''(2)''' [[#Adopters|add your project/company name]], and '''(3)''' [http://creativecommons.org/contact let us know!]
|}}

== Simple Explanation ==

The basic concept is to have a Creative Commons license + some other agreement which provides morePermissions.

[[Image:Cc-by-nc-3.0-88x31.png]] + [[Image:Commercial-license-button.png]]


NOTE: Above, the CC license should link to the human deed and the generic commercial license would link to a place to get a commercial license for a work. The COMMERCIAL LICENSE is generic and should be tailored for specific uses with specific names of copyright holders.



[http://wiki.creativecommons.org/images/b/b4/Commercial-license-button.svg Here is the SVG (vector graphic)] to the generic button if you would like to construct a commercial licensing button for your usage. The button is [http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/deed.en released into the public domain].


== Summary ==

CC+ is a protocol providing a simple way for users to get rights
beyond the rights granted by a CC license. For example, a work's Creative
Commons license might offer noncommercial rights. With CC+, the
license can also provide a link by which a user might secure rights beyond noncommercial
rights -- most obviously commercial rights, but also additional permissions or
services such as warranty, permission to use without attribution, or even access to performance or physical media.

The CC+ architecture gives businesses a simple way to move
between the sharing and commercial economies. CC+ provides a
lightweight standard around these best practices and is available for
implementation immediately.

== Use Cases ==

* Restrict commercial use with a CC license with the NonCommercial condition, and then use a separate agreement with some party (could be yourself or third-party) to broker commercial rights (licensing, sales, reproduction, etc).
* Require that adaptions are shared with a CC license with the ShareAlike condition, but offer a separate agreement (as above) for parties that do not want to release derivatives under the same license. Similar use cases for offering a private agreement for parties that wish to avoid fulfilling the Attribution or NoDerivatives properties of applicable CC licenses.
* Offer a private agreement for parties that require one (eg for institutional policy or insurance reasons), even if their use would be within the scope of the public license grant.
* To implement some type of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_Performer_Protocol Street Performer Protocol] system to put works to the public domain or into another license, preferably more free and in the community interest.

== FAQ ==

=== What is a simple way of explaining CC+? ===

CC+ is just what it sounds like, a Creative Commons license plus another agreement. A copyright holder might pair a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial license [CC] with a non-exclusive commercial agreement [+] enabling a company to license the work commercially for a fee.

=== Isn't CC+ just a technological facilitation of dual licensing? ===

Yes. A copyright holder who uses a Creative Commons license is already adding a license on top of their copyright. CC+ can make it easier for that copyright-holder to add other non-exclusive licenses/agreements as alternatives.
