=====Webinar Information=====
Creative Commons Licenses – Options for Copyright protection.

In the words of Creative Commons,
+
You can also dial in using your phone.
Creative Commons is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to making it easier for people to share and build upon the work of others, consistent with the rules of copyright.
 
We provide free licenses and other legal tools to mark creative work with the freedom the creator wants it to carry, so others can share, remix, use commercially, or any combination thereof.
 
They have six different licensing options, which are, in all cases, free.  They do ask for donations.  You can view the legal code, which is as comprehensive as any legal document, or the “Deed” which is a readable form for normal people (non-lawyers).  To view the links you will need to go to the site http://creativecommons.org/about/licenses/

The Licenses
+
=====Agenda=====
Attribution
 
This license lets others distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon your work, even commercially, as long as they credit you for the original creation. This is the most accommodating of licenses offered, in terms of what others can do with your works licensed under Attribution.
 
View License Deed | View Legal Code
 
 
Attribution Share Alike
 
This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work even for commercial reasons, as long as they credit you and license their new creations under the identical terms. This license is often compared to open source software licenses. All new works based on yours will carry the same license, so any derivatives will also allow commercial use.
 
View License Deed | View Legal Code
 
 
Attribution No Derivatives
 
This license allows for redistribution, commercial and non-commercial, as long as it is passed along unchanged and in whole, with credit to you.
 
View License Deed | View Legal Code
 
 
Attribution Non-Commercial
 
This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work non-commercially, and although their new works must also acknowledge you and be non-commercial, they don’t have to license their derivative works on the same terms.
 
View License Deed | View Legal Code
 
 
Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike
 
This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work non-commercially, as long as they credit you and license their new creations under the identical terms. Others can download and redistribute your work just like the by-nc-nd license, but they can also translate, make remixes, and produce new stories based on your work. All new work based on yours will carry the same license, so any derivatives will also be non-commercial in nature.
 
View License Deed | View Legal Code
 
 
Attribution Non-Commercial No Derivatives
 
This license is the most restrictive of our six main licenses, allowing redistribution. This license is often called the “free advertising” license because it allows others to download your works and share them with others as long as they mention you and link back to you, but they can’t change them in any way or use them commercially.
 
In terms of what direction we should go, the Creative Commons supports our idea of open collaboration while maintaining the integrity of the creator of the product.  The licenses have the full range from simple attribution up to no commercial use and don’t change it. 
 
There are other sites/groups that offer free copyrights but they are dot coms so there is an element of risk.  I could not find any that offered the range that Creative Commons has nor their very transparent policies and website. 
 
Short of looking into a “cost” area, Creative Commons seems to be the way to go and given that we have had them speak and have a good idea of their reputation, we should feel secure in the fact that their work and ability to maintain the copyright license is trustworthy. 
 
  
TO APPLY
+
Working notes are kept on a [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1l13cD3d4bmUuDW1YmvcP7Zs7_7RXraMTiY7Hr4Q1Vpg/edit Google Doc]
It isn’t a difficult process to apply for a license, you just sign up.   The process would go like this for ESIP
 
  
1.Generally, works that are protected by copyright are: books, scripts, websites, lesson plans, blogs and any other forms of writings; photographs and other visual images; films, video games and other visual materials; musical compositions, sound recordings and other audio works. Do we fit under these categories?
+
Please add the text of your committee report to that document by Friday before the Program Committee call.
  
2.Do we have the rights to what we have created?  For example, Wiredcraft did our website, can we copyright it and do we need to talk with them?
+
==== Tabled ====
 +
#* “How to talk about ESIP” ideas and how to grow ESIP ambassadors
 +
#* How to document ESIP success stories - there is a technical and programmatic effort. As easy as tagging posts with #esipfed or some other hashtag, but then what do we do all the tagged content, where do we consolidate that, is that how we want to proceed with capturing success stories - let's think about this
 +
#** NOAA has some existing framework resources on this, EarthCube is also using NOAA's work on this.
  
3.We need to really be sure how we want to copyright it.  Remember, there are six levels of  licenses.
 
 
4.Several people should review what they do and how they work before a decision is made.
 
 
5.What if we change our mind or one of our members who has posted something there has changed their mind?    From what I can see, once we copyright the website, it and its’ contents are copyrighted, but if someone who has posted something removes it, they can do what they want with it but as long as it is under the ESIP website copyright “umbrella”, it has to adhere to whatever type of copyright we use.
 
 
 
6.We sign up, we are given html to post on our site and it becomes copyrighted according to the type of license we decide upon.
 
 
 
7.There is no cost but they take donations and we should consider “paying” for it by donating at a level the board decides is appropriate.  They deserve the support to keep open source going.
 
 
8.One caveat, the CC license is above and beyond US copyright, so if we feel that we need to have legal clout so to speak, we would need to copyright it through the copyright office.  However, that should be something that was commercial we were thinking of marketing, software for example.
