Creative Commons 2.5 licence launch

Creative Commons Deed screenshotCreative Commons SA has recently launched their 2.5 licence.

Under this licence, the author or rightsholder can specify how they wish the work to be attributed. An author or creator can now specifiy that attribution should include not just the name of the author but also require a user to show the name of a sponsor or current rights holder, and to also include a link back via a URL to a specific webpage. An example of when this would be required would be when the page is on the site of a sponsor.

Creative Commons SA wishes to thank the volunteer legal team for all their input and advice.
