Wseltzer: /* public domain and fair use cases */

== public domain and fair use cases ==
"If you are combining pre-existing works made by other people or working in conjunction with other people to produce something, you need to make sure that you have express and explicit permission to apply a Creative Commons license to the end result. You don’t have this kind of permission in the case of, say, a Madonna CD or a Italo Calvino novel, that you purchase, because these are made available under “all rights reserved” copyright. You can only secure this kind of permission if you are in direct contact with the person, discuss Creative Commons licensing with them and they agree to a specific license; of course, if you are combining a work that is already Creative Commons-licensed then you will also have the rights! (provided your use is consistent with the terms of that license)"

I don't think this is complete. If you're combining pre-existing works, you could also do so because the pre-existing work is in the public domain (and thus there is no one from whom permission is required) or because your use is fair (and thus no permission is required). [[User:Wseltzer|Wendy Seltzer]] 05:15, 17 January 2008 (CST)

:How about this rewording of the quoted paragraph:
::If you are combining pre-existing works made by other people (unless those works are in the public domain, and thus there is no one from whom permission is required) or working in conjunction with other people to produce something, you need to make sure that you have express and explicit permission to apply a Creative Commons license to the end result (unless your use of the pre-existing works constitutes [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use fair use], and thus no permission is required). You don’t have this kind of permission in the case of, say, a Madonna CD or a Italo Calvino novel, that you purchase, because these are made available under “all rights reserved” copyright. You can only secure this kind of permission if you are in direct contact with the person, discuss Creative Commons licensing with them and they agree to a specific license; of course, if you are combining a work that is already Creative Commons-licensed then you will also have the rights, provided your use is consistent with the terms of that license!

Wseltzer: Adding public domain and fair use

'''Welcome Slashdotters! Clarification on CC+ is in order'''

'''CC+''' is '''CC license''' + '''Another agreement'''.

It is '''NOT''' a new license, but a facilitation of '''morePermissions''' beyond '''ANY''' standard CC licenses.

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 like 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/licenses/publicdomain 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.

== 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.
