My bad. Just to clarify, when I said unofficial, I meant the license I was talking about (1) is not directly Bangladesh Government recognized copyright license (2) is not usually signed in the presence of any lawfully appointed person or a third party. Hopefully it makes more sense. I didn't mean anything the way you interpreted. Besides, I am neither a law student nor interested to confuse people by arguing on this issue but to start the project if any one comes forward. :) any hands up?? -----

A license is a legal declaration form the offering party to which the receiver party agrees to. Creative Common is as much of a license as the tradition copyright declarations associated with any creative work. While both of them are legal contracts, the former provides you the "freedom" to some degree whereas the later ensures "restrictions" related to the work. It is a separate issue if a license offered contradicts/conflicts with local laws. In that case that needs to be resolved until as a legal matter. __________________________________________________________________ Instant Messaging, free SMS, sharing photos and more...
