Why not wait to see how CC 0 develops before licence proliferation?

CC 0 seems to meet your criteria. If it does not, then why not?

I should add that I hadn’t heard that insightful cross-cultural argument against requiring attribution before. I had always assumed that attribution was a harmless requirement but no I see how it could be otherwise.

I’m going to stray from the questioning theme of the other comments and state that I like this description. I’m still fence sitting on the actual license…

I like this description for it is articulates the issues around an open educational license. I may be so bold to say it is the best I have read. Its been hard to find a good written description of the issues within such a OER license. And finding the right balance for open educational content licensing does seem to be hard.

I agree with the statements about Remix vs. Reuse and as an educator I would say a 10:1 ratio of remix over reuse is correct.

I also like the comments about attribution and how this could limit the use of materials, particularly cross-culturally…

Public domain dedications are not difficult. Most of the Creative Commons process is legally unnecessary. Simply appending a notice that you are dedicating the material to the public domain is sufficient.

For those for whom that’s not a good solution, then like the others, I have to ask what’s so wrong with CC-BY that a new license is warranted.
