Expect most people will be familiar with CC but always good to emphasize what CC is all about – vision is inspiring.
CC mission statement identifies our role around legal and technical providing good lead in to speaking about Version 4 licenses Compelling drivers for versioning the license suite now.
Evolution of the CC license suite – a quick overview of why we version, and when.License versioning is a core responsibility of license stewardship -- to keep pace with and anticipate important changes in the legal and technology ecosystem, as well as the needs of our growing adopter base.Each prior versioning effort has be driven by important needs. Some examples from the two major versions to date1.0 – 2.0: CC learned a lot its first year in existence, and with experience came recognition that adjustments were needed relatively soon after launch of 1.0. Among other things * no demand for the non BY licenses in the original suite of 11 licenses; took the opportunity to drop those from the 2.0 suite * dropped affirmative representations and warranties on the part of licensors, to bring us in line with what other providers of free content were doing. We recognized (and encouraged then as well as today) that licensors can offer warranties with or without a fee where those are sought. This is a common model throughout the open publishing landscape, and one embraced by the open source community as well. * other important changes: improving the attribution requirement, addressing music-related issues including how the CC licenses work with collecting societies, and introducing compatibility between ported versions of BY-SA.2.0 to 3.0: second major upgrade * endorsement: concern by licensors that when others reused their works, the licensor endorsed those uses through attribution statements. Introduced “no endorsement” provision, introduced provision requiring removal of attribution when requested and reasonably possible, and clarified moral rights * internationalization-related issues: the generic license was one in the same as the US license, wanted to change that by creating a more international license using international terminology to ease adoption issues; other issues also were in play, including the need to harmonize still further treatment of moral rights. * compatibility: other major issue was compatibility with other copy-left or ShareAlike licenses. Recognized problems associated with having incompatible silos of content that could not be remixed; introduced a provision that would allow CC to declare other licenses sufficiently compatible such that content could be remixed between them and licensed under one or the other license easily.
A third factor compelling CC to version is the opportunity to make adjustments that accommodate needs of intergovernmental organizations who want to participate in the learning and education commons but cannot do so because our licenses to date have been insufficiently clear on how they operate relative to IGOs.These IGOs represent important policy makers as well as contributors of learning materials they seek to share broadly with the public under standard terms and conditions. CC licenses can accommodate the needs of many through the versioning process without substantively changing how our licenses operate. This should avoid the creation of custom licenses by IGOs that would compound the proliferation and interoperability problems.CC is working currently with a group of IGOs on a 3.0 port of the CC licenses. Our expectation is that 4.0 will address most if not all of their concerns so that the 4.0 licenses may be used in lieu of the 3.0 IGO ported licenses.
Attribution requirements have been aggregated and greatly simplified, with more flexibility built in such that all requirements are subject to a “reasonable to the means, medium and context” standard;ShareAlike remains unchanged, which means your BY and BY-SA works can still be uploaded to Wikipedia/media as before, and you can remix content with your own from Wikipedia/media as before, with same rules SharingAlike applyingNo change in NC – this is a relief for many and a disappointment for others, but no compelling case with substantial consensus emerged; for those in the education with models based on –NC, you can continue to rely on the same definition applying
One of our highest goals for 4.0 is to bridge divides between incompatible silos of content. We continue our discussions with the stewards of GPl and FAL in particular, so that remixes are possible, expanding the commons of reusable content.The need for and criteria for porting is still being explored, with a formal process starting after publication of the next draft of the licenses. For many, CC’s proliferation of licenses (we steward 550 +/- at present) is confusing, problematic, and an issue to take seriously. We will be doing that in collaboration with our affiliates starting in November.We promised NC guidelines for communities to enhance clarity around the existing definition – look for those efforts in the education arena in particular, starting late this year and early 2013. We also continue to evaluate NC stewardship questions such as license naming and branding. That will take place outside of the 4.0 process, and you can expect more on that later this year.Our improved attribution requirements provide an opportunity for helping licensees easily comply with those wanting to do the right thing. We plan to roll out best practices and guidelines – perhaps even technical solutions – that simplify compliance.
Self-explanatory.
By “Open Policy” we mean that publicly funded resources are openly licensed resources. To do this we need to flip the default of “closed” on its head to that the fundamental expectation is “open”we heard from the CC Affiliates at our Global Summit in Warsaw last yearAffiliates are on board with the power and potential of open policy to scale efficient sharing of education, science, data resourcesBut we need to be able to be more effective!We (the broadly “open” community) need the tools, like slides, talking points, FAQs, sample policies and legislation, etc.We need to be able to communicate and network with open policy advocates and sector-specific experts around the worldWe need to think about “Open Policy” broadlyPolicy happens at many different level, from national policies about sharing public sector information to personal policies about sharing the educational content you createLet’s not recreate the wheelLet’s leverage the best and brightest from the open world, whether it be in open licensing, open access, open science to provide assistanceWe’ll be in a support role; a hubWhere there is gaps, we’ll take the lead
We don’t have to start from scratchThere’s already a lot of good policies out there for us to build upon and shareYou all know the innovative Department of Labor Community College and Career Training grant program$2 billion for the creation of course content to for community college students and worker retraining – CC BYRecently announced California open textbook legislation - $10 million to create highest enrolled higher ed digital textbooks and share for free under CC BYNational PSI legislation in Netherlands and Australia – public data is “open by default”City legislation in Sao Paulo, San Francisco that shares educational resources and city level data under open licensesGalleries, libraries, archives, museums adopting open policies to share metadata about their rich cultural collectionsIntergovernmental orgs adopting open licensing to share more appropriately aligned with their public interest missionInstitutions and universities like Harvard and many others ensuring that faculty and researchers are able to share their articles and research in open repositoriesThere are tools to track these policies like such as OER Policy Registry, ROARMAP
The Open Policy Institute is still in the formative stageWe had a meeting in California 2 weeks ago bringing together “leaders of the open world”High level goals of the institute will be to provide 1) networking and connecting individuals and projects with others that can assist them2) communicate news, briefing kits, and “state of the field” for various sectors, such as OER, OA, etc. 3) coordinate needed economic and social research and solicit solid evidence for open that can be presented to policymakers4) provide real-time support in advocacy and ensure that once open policies are passed they continuePotential services could includePlease join in this important work!http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Open_Policy_Institute
