[Cctools-cchost] Sharing - Noncommercial license

[Brenton <br...@sl...>]

This may be a bit philosophical for the development list.  Oh well.=0A=0AI'=
m curious - are the CC licenses themselves open sourced?  Can I create a Sh=
aring - Noncommercial Deed?  If not, can we get someone at CC to do it?=0A=
=0AI was thinking about this last night.  As many of you know, I'm working =
on a collaborative filmmaking project using ccHost.  It will be a commercia=
l website, and any commercial use of the work must be posted through the si=
te (in order to ensure the revenue gets split fairly amongst all parties). =
 I would like to offer the option of CC-licensing the archive, but this pre=
sents a problem.  I get 20% of the revenue coming into the project.  I use =
that to develop new tools to help the site grow.  If the work can be commer=
cially sampled, my archive essentially becomes royalty free:  Anyone who wa=
nts to could pirate the videos without contributing back into the project.=
=0A=0AThis problem would be averted with a Sampling - Noncommercial license=
.  Someone could log into my project and post files under an S-NC license. =
 This would allow the community of CC Deeded work to grow without allowing =
others to make money off of my tools without shairng the revenue with me.=
