I have just seen that Creative-Commons has released a first draft of their
new 4.0 license suit and thought it might be of interest to others on this
list. ( http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/32157 )
The draft for 4.0 now explicitly licenses database rights and addresses
licensing of databases. However, it does not extend restrictions through
contract where copyright and database rights do not restrict usage in the
first place. It also does not have the concept of produced works.
The new draft furthermore addresses attribution in massive collaboration
projects more flexibly than previous licenses by not having to attribute all
authors if the project wishes so.
and I received a nice mail from Diane Peters, Creative Commons General
Counsel. She has given me permission to copy it below.
With the license and CTs change-over now almost a reality, I look
forward to engaging in this and sharing our experiences. Do share your
thoughts here over the next few months so that we can make a collective
response in addition to any comments you want to make individually. So
far the only contribution I have made is an earlier draft of this
document on attributing (geo)data:

Hi Mike,
You may find this announcement re publication of Draft 1 of 4.0 of
interest.

As anticipated, we've shifted gears on database rights in 4.0, fully
licensing those rights on par with copyright as a neighboring right.
There are other improvements as well, among them a concerted push to
make the license terms and conditions more easily understandable, and
simplifying attribution.
We'd definitely appreciate hearing from you and others in the OSM
community on the license draft given your experiences with ODbL and CC
in the past. You have all become experts where licensing of data,
databases and massive collaboration projects are concerned. I know
the license draft would benefit from any comments offered.
Kind regards,
Diane
