Creative Commons announced today the release of CC0 and CC+ licenses. CC0 licenses are a method of giving public domain-like rights in a manner that holds up better legally internationally. CC+ licenses are meant to give users additional rights beyond the scope of the license. Larry Lessig had this explanation of the CC+ license:
Imagine you have all of your photos on Flickr, offered to the world under the CC Attribution-NonCommercial license,” said Lawrence Lessig, CEO of Creative Commons. “CC+ will enable you to continue offering your work to the public for noncommercial use, but will also give you an easy way to sell commercial licensing rights to those who want to use your work for profit.
