Correction, I am not a lawyer but sure there are lawyers.
[I said] > 2- There are no international laws, only treaties. > But there are individual *human rights* which are accepted by all > countries. One of these rigths are the author's right Not exactly. Author's right is not really an *human right* in the common sense, but in the sense this is a right owned by individuals. :-D) In fact, once the copyright of a license is used to preserve the author's tutelage/moral rights, the license becomes almost like a Law for Country/States. Laws works cannot be restricted, they are (by definition) Public Domain in the country and under Treaties. Any licence, as soon as it is legal, functions like a Law. You can think about this as if your State was the copyright-holder of the laws. But you can copy, and even modify these laws, of course following the license conditions :-D) To resume, license copyrights from individual work like Public Domain Laws from Organizations or States. No problem, you can, (even you must, if you want to progress) work and developp licenses. Individual licenses are like laws, with individual visibility.
