CCPlus

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.

• What is CC? - One Page (pdf)

Human

Creative Commons has structured this so that you and/or your project can implement the rest of the social part to this equation.

Technical

Similar to #Human, CC has structured the Technical part of CC+ so that you can implement the technical standard to be in compliance.

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.
