This page provides information specific to the public discussion of the third draft of version 4.0 (4.0d3). The drafts presented for comment are the result of discussions with the CC community and CC’s many Affiliates via the license-discuss email lists, wiki pages, affiliate consultations and other input.

We include occasional prompts to highlight areas where additional feedback is especially requested.

Policy and Drafting Decisions

  • Prominent considerations before licensing, no warranties.

We considered in depth a proposal [link] to reintroduce warranties on the part of licensors, but concluded that whatever its benefits the reintroduction would cause more problems than benefits. We are excited by a new change that the proposal inspired, however. We are introducing a new section that precedes the legal code, where important considerations are set forth for both licensors and the public. Its prominent location will raise awareness of the underlying issues the warranty proposal attempted to address. Read a fuller explanation [here].
