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.

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.
