Creative Commons launches discussions of license versions 4.0

Creative Commons has officially opened the public discussion process for version 4.0 of the CC license suite. You can learn more and join the discussion at http://wiki.creativecommons.org/4.0.

The core part of any OER definition is the educational resource is either openly licensed or is in the public domain… so anyone can: reuse, revise, remix and redistribute. This is your chance to affect the licenses we all use to share OER.  One of the many reasons CC is considering versioning the licenses at this time is to address how to improve the attribution requirements to ease citation in open educational resources (OER).

Starting now through February Creative Commons is holding a requirements gathering period, an important time to contribute ideas for improving the license suite. We hope you’ll join the discussion and share your ideas for how to improve the licenses for use with public sector information and data.  For more information, see  http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/30676
