The author is the copyright holder. You can always give more non-exclusive licenses to the same content. All CC licenses are non-exclusive. You can give a publisher who asks you, only the right to use commercially for their magazine, for example. You can do that as long as you don't give an exclusive license or equivalent (i.e. as long as you don't sign a contract to sell all your own rights to the content to a publisher). I don't have links at hand, but you may want to look for the difference between non-exclusive and exclusive licenses. -- ~enyst "Excuse me, Professor Lessig, but may I ask you to sign this CLA, so that we have legally your permission to distribute your CC-licensed words?" ~ Permission Culture, take two. _______________________________________________ cc-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-devel
