[ This page was last modified on 25 September 2012, at 11:40. ]

The CC Affiliate Network consists of 100+ affiliates working in over 70 jurisdictions to support and promote CC activities around the world.

The teams have a wide range of responsibilities, including public outreach, community building, translating information and tools, fielding inquiries, conducting research, communicating with the public, maintaining resources for CC users, and in general, promoting sharing and our mission. These teams have a formal relationship with Creative Commons via an agreement between organizations, universities or individuals in the jurisdiction and CC HQ. Unaffiliated volunteers are also welcome to organize events and promote Creative Commons locally, regionally and globally.

If you would like learn more or contribute in one of these jurisdictions, please click on the flag below or email affiliate-program[at]creativecommons.org. If you are looking for a flag that you do not see here, please check the Jurisdiction Database ( http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Jurisdiction_Database ) . The Affiliates ( http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Affiliates ) page on the CC wiki contains more information, including regional activities and history of our work.

The Licensing Suite

Creative Commons offers a core suite of six copyright licenses written to conform to international treaties governing copyright. The international licenses, as well as existing ported licenses, are all intended to be effective anywhere in the world, with the same legal effect. In the past, when it was demonstrated that a ported license was needed, Creative Commons worked with legal experts to craft a localized version of its six, core international licenses. Over 50 ported license suites exist. These ported licenses are based on and compatible with the international license suite, differing only in that they have been modified to reflect local nuances in how legal terms and conditions are expressed, drafting protocols and, of course, language. They are effective worldwide, as is the international license suite. The most recent international license suite available is version 3.0. ( http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Version_3 )

Please note that CC' s policy is to not a begin any new porting projects as we are currently preparing for version 4.0.

The Database contains the full text of the Unported and the jurisdiction-specific 3.0 licenses, which you can query by a range of variables. The license texts have been structured according to tags or keywords ( http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Property:Relevant_license_sections ) . Query ( http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Special:RunQuery/Jurisdiction_Query ) one or more ported licenses (and Unported) for tagged license sections.Visit the Jurisdiction Database Research ( http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Jurisdiction_Database/Research ) page for more information on using the data contained in this database.

Jurisdictions

The CC Affiliate Network consists of 100+ affiliates working in over 70 jurisdictions to support and promote CC activities around the world. Members of the Affiliate Network have formal agreements with Creative Commons. Enthusiasm for Creative Commons does not require a formal Affiliate Team. Creative Commoners around the world conduct events and share the news about CC without a formal relationship to Creative Commons. The flags below cover all jurisdictions included in the Jurisdiction Database, both members of the Affiliate Network and those who do not have formal agreements with CC. Click on the flags below to learn more about CC enthusiasts in these jurisdictions.

For more information on what it means to be a formal Affiliate, please see our Affiliates ( http://wiki.creativecommons.org/International ) wiki page and our Introduction document ( http://wiki.creativecommons.org/images/9/94/Introduction_to_CC_and_Affiliate_Teams.pdf ).

Contributing to the Database

The Jurisdiction Database contains information on the Unported license and each Creative Commons affiliate jurisdiction (e.g. Germany ( http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Germany ), Estonia ( http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Estonia ) ).

On these pages you have the opportunity to add or edit data about the jurisdiction, or data about the jurisdiction's 3.0 license porting process.

On each page, you can choose to edit the page directly as with a normal wiki page or edit via the "edit with form" link at the top of the page. This form will allow you to input information into labeled boxes and is suggested at least for edits to the sidebar.

The structure of pages follows this schema: <Jurisdiction>/3.0/<License>
