Hope this helps. </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/173#post-435 Mon, 21 Sep 2009 10:42:06 +0000 Early Learning Toys 435@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>This is kind of a tough one.

Is it possible to use fotos with a cc-by-sa license together with fotos issued under a cc-by-nc-sa license in the same derivative work, i.e. the videoclip?<br /> cheers, Jo </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/181#post-369 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 00:37:29 +0000 levro 369@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>Hello,<br /> thanks for your reply, Osorio.<br /> I am sorry that I have perhaps not expressed myself clearly. All photos that I use in the book are allowed for commercial purposes but some of them (20-30) also have a share-alike (SA) license. I am unsure if this makes my book a share-alike product as well? I presume that my publisher does not want that. The SA license says: "If you alter, transform, or build upon this work, you may distribute ***the resulting work*** only under the same, similar or a compatible license." The big question is: what falls under the term ***resulting work***: the specific photo I have used (and perhaps changed) or the entire book although the photos are only a very small part of it?</p> <p>Kind regards &#38; I would be grateful for further advice, Steffen </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/181#post-366 Fri, 17 Jul 2009 08:36:44 +0000 osorio 366@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>How many noncommercial/share-alike CC pictures are there in your work? If you've put the time and effort into placing credits for each of these and you needed then as relevant material for your publication then it may be worth contacting the photographic artists and get first hand permissions just to cover your base. In doing so this may protect your work from lawsuit's not that I think that may happen, It's just a good precaution to take. </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/181#post-350 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 17:20:05 +0000 levro 350@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I am about to publish a scientific book (psychology) via a regular publisher which uses many creative commons pictures that allow usage for commercial purposes. Many of those pictures have a “noncommerical/share-alike” license and I am a bit unclear what this means for my book. At the end of my book every single artist is certainly credited with his/her name and the title of the picture. I also make clear that many of the pictures are used under a “share alike” license. However, what does this mean for me? Can for example reader request that I hand them the original photos or copy pages? Does this license make the entire book a share-alike product (my publisher might have objections against this). I am sorry if these questions sound stupid. I have really tried hard to answer them myself but I am not a legal expert and want to be on the safe side.</p> <p>Kind regards, Levro </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/173#post-347 Thu, 04 Jun 2009 11:23:07 +0000 Jacket 347@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>Yes you do say this all the time - however it needs to be re-stated. The artist now has the power. The CC licence empowers the artist, and because you can directly contact the artist, you are encouraged to do so! </p> <p>No lawyer can get in the way. If the artists says yes - score! it also provides them with a much needed commodity - feedback!</p> <p>Just my opinion...<br /> Jack </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/173#post-343 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 15:20:35 +0000 sympodius 343@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>Kind of a tricky one. The CC licenses aren't really intended for source code. I feel like I say this all the time, but when in doubt: ask the original creator. It's their work at the end of the day. So, if they don't mind, they can waive any aspect of the license for you. </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/174#post-342 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 15:16:18 +0000 sympodius 342@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>I believe that the 'share alike' part of a license is more to do with remixing. If you are not editing, re-cutting or changing the music in any way (just playing it as background music) and the game does not directly sync to it, I think this is allowed. It's a tricky area though.</p> <p>To be safe, you should really just contact the creators of the music and ask them if they mind. It sounds like you are using the music in the spirit of the license, so they'll probably say that they don't mind. </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/174#post-339 Thu, 28 May 2009 11:19:33 +0000 durga2112 339@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>I am interested in using music and artwork from a Creative Commons-licensed album in a video game. The exact license on the album is Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike. The game will be free to download and will have a credits screen, so the Attribution and Noncommercial elements should be easy to cover. However, given the way the Share Alike element works, and the fact that Creative Commons licenses are not recommended for software, will this even be possible to do? </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/173#post-338 Wed, 27 May 2009 15:02:35 +0000 isak 338@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>I'd like to use a CC-SA -licensed widget (code + graphics) in a closed source web application.</p> <p>It looks to me like this is allowed, as long as we don't distribute said application (under a non-share-alike-compatible license). Am I right?</p> <p>A potential sticking point here is what the CC means by 'distribution'. Would only selling/giving away the source count, or is merely putting it up on our web server enough?</p> <p>Thank you,<br /> Isak </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/101#post-224 Fri, 26 Dec 2008 22:11:16 +0000 ahevans 224@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>hi, did you ever find an answer to this question? </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/101#post-220 Thu, 18 Dec 2008 06:34:46 +0000 jpPenelton 220@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>Hello! Let me apologize in advance for 1) not knowing anything about CC or copyrights in general, and 2) asking a question relating to software.</p> <p>I am making a computer card game (which I want to sell copies of,) and I would like to use playing card images that I downloaded. The images have a by-sa license, so I'm pretty sure I can use them commercially (with attribution, of course.)</p> <p>My concern is that the share alike license requires derivative works to also carry a CC license. Would my game be considered a derivative work? If so, what would be an appropriate commercial use?</p> <p>Or does "derivative work" just mean creating my own deck of cards based off the images I downloaded? </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/61#post-145 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 18:20:22 +0000 mlinksva 145@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>You have to comply with the terms of the BY-SA license, assuming you're using the music under those terms.</p> <p>I see no reason you couldn't sell in stores, but iTunes may be a problem as it uses DRM and CC licenses do not allow DRM if it restricts the freedoms granted by the CC licenses.</p> <p>IANAL and this is not legal advice, of course... </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/61#post-138 Fri, 12 Sep 2008 18:57:00 +0000 Adisa 138@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>can I sell Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 music that I find, on Itunes, cd baby and in stores? </p>
