I sent the patch to Savante a few minutes ago. A PDF on usage is at: http://www.RUSTPrivacy.org/cc0.pdf
The Library of Congress advises that only "a substantial change" to the work requires a re-registration. As far as I can tell, the main use of a CC0 License is to counter "rebranding", not necessarily infringement. There is a TV Show in the US - "Are you smarter than a Fifth Grader ?" - evidently Copyright Lawyers struggle with the smarter/nicer dichotomy daily. --Gannon --- On Thu, 9/3/09, Gannon Dick <[email protected]> wrote: From: Gannon Dick <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [xml-dev] XHTML Filter To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, September 3, 2009, 11:54 AM Hi Savante, I thought you had abandoned all of IT for one baby. Good choice. I'll send the patched zip back to you as soon as I can. The CC0 License requires a "Country of Origin". My patch uses both a hard coded ccTLD (Country Coded Top Level Domain - ISO 3066, 2 character code) and a hard coded Country Name. It could use ODF text:sender-country. This normally dull subject is a white hot issue at present. It occurred to me a while ago - studying for the Customs Broker Exam, 10% pass rate, wish me luck - that there was some work to be done on small codes, like Country, Currency and Language codes. I developed a way to extend and manage the existing ISO codes: http://www.rustprivacy.org/primeencoding.zip Of course nobody that should be interested (ISO, Google, Government) is interested because I'm a nobody (and the CC0 License). That's just the way things go these days. I asked the US Copyright Office (Library of Congress) for guidance about putting the License Notice in "deposits" (registrations). I should receive something back from them either today or tomorrow. --Gannon --- On Thu, 9/3/09, Svante Schubert - Sun Germany - Software Engineer <[email protected]> wrote: From: Svante Schubert - Sun Germany - Software Engineer <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [xml-dev] XHTML Filter To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, September 3, 2009, 8:33 AM Hi Gannon, Sorry for the delay, I was two month on parental absence (second part). Of course I am interested in the patch, could your write an OOo issue/patch for it? Perhaps you could sync it into the latest source of the body.xsl taken from the CWS xsltfilter12. I will sent you the file directly. Going to finish this CWS start of next week, so if receive the issue with the patch in the next days, I will try to get it into the 3.2. Otherwise it will get into the follow up CWS.

Svante? CC may also have a plug-in, but this simple patch will do the trick if you are not a Consultant with a long email disclaimer. > > Anybody want the patch? > > Gannon J.
