Public discussion time for Creative Commons 3.0 license draft coming to a close
Hi, everyone. Pardon the wide distribution, but I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anyone. As some of you know [1], a workgroup within Debian cooperating with Creative Commons [2] to make some of their licenses compatible with the Debian Free Software Guidelines [3] so that CC-licensed works (images, video, sounds, documentation, help text) can be part of the Debian operating system. [4] We reached some good conclusions, which resulted in the current Creative Commons 3.0 license but unfortunately some of the people in the Creative Commons community -- a diverse one, just like Debian's -- have managed to knock the process off track. [5] The license draft now available leaves out some key clauses that the workgroup thought necessary to make the license DFSG-compatible. The draft has been subject to public review for more than a month now, and the discussion period is drawing to a close. Creative Commons general counsel has said that they'll consider public opinion when it comes to making a final decision about this license. So, for those of you who want to see Creative Commons licenses that meet our standard of Freedom, this is the time to act. Please, if you haven't already, take a few minutes to send an email message to the Creative Commons public review mailing list [6] letting CC know that you support a Debian-compatible version of the license. I want a Debian-compatible Creative Commons license, signed John Q. Hacker is probably plenty. Complaining to each other 6 months from now won't do any good; the time to complain is now, when it can make a difference. We've got a narrow window in which to let CC know that the Free Software guidelines matter. Please spread the word to other Debian users and supporters as well as into the rest of the Free Software community.

Seems more polite that way. Totally agreed, I was going to write exactly the same reply. Evan: what about setting up a pool, a signature collection, or simply ask people to write directly to you and then, after 1 month time frame or so, notify the CC guys of all the subscription you received?

Could this be a good time to use the unofficial GR-style, devotee-driven poll that Jeroen has set up ([0], [1])? The CC blog post by Mia Garlick [2] seems to imply that they are interested in some kind of preliminary indication of how Debian would handle the new 3.0 CC licenses with or without the parallel distribution language. So maybe a poll could run for some time, and the results, including number of participants, could be communicated to the CC list? Jeroen, how about setting up such a poll? Who is on the CC mailing list and could make sure the result would be communicated there?
