Hi,
My employer is interested in the usage of the Creative Commons License for *some* Official documents.However on the CC homepage [http://creativecommons.org] there is no jurisdiction available for
India.
Is a jurisdiction planned for India, when will it be legally accepted in India?
Currently I have to choose "Generic" while selecting a CC based License.Does this "Generic" jurisdiction hold true for India?
Are any of the CC Licenses recognized by the Indian Penal Code and can they be upheld as a valid document in an Indian court of Law.
It would be of much help if someone can clear up my above mentioned
doubts.
Hi Toufeeq!
Lawrence Liang is the lead for CC in India, and I am forwarding this mail to him so that he may attend to your query. Meanwhile, afaik, it is best to choose a generic cc license, as the core ingredients of copyrights are governed by international treaties TRIPS and the Berne Convention and therefore there is much uniformity in most countries. And again, afaik, the non-generic parts of a copyright license such as those relating to "implied warranties", are not connected with copyrights, and including terms about it is needless and pointless. HTH.
Regards, Ramanraj.
