CC+ is CC license + Another agreement.

Summary

Legal

Creative Commons has solved this with Creative Commons licensing. Creative Commons has this one locked down. Rely on CC.

Usage

• To restrict commercial use with a CC license with NC condition, and then use a separate agreement with some party (could be yourself or third-party) to broker commercial rights (licensing, sales, reproduction, etc).
• To implement some type of Street Performer Protocol system to put works to the public domain or into another license, preferably more free and in the community interest.

Media

• The basics of this idea were formulated for Pixelodeon 2007 slides.
