Creative Commons 3.0 Launched

launched version 3.0 of their copyright licenses.

This updated version introduces here).

I’ve taken the opportunity to update the CC license on this blog. It’s not version 3 but is now specific to the ‘UK: England and Wales’ jurisdiction.

I’ve also had a re-think about the restricted license I had in place until now that wouldn’t allow you to use anything on this blog to make a derivative work (not that the blog scraper scammers paid any attention to that or any other aspect of intellectual property rights).

Now you can make derivative works if you want - meaning, build on anything I’ve created here - as long as you abide by the terms of the license.

Here’s the full text of the Creative Commons license that now applies here:

As noted, any of these license conditions can be waived. So if you have something in mind and want to do something outside the scope of the CC license, just ask.
