Un vídeo que explica cómo se pueden utilizar las licencias Creative Commons junto con acuerdos de licencia comerciales.

Una licencia Creative Commons ( licencia CC ) es una de las diversas licencias públicas de derechos de autor producidas por Creative Commons (CC), una corporación estadounidense sin fines de lucro , que permiten la distribución gratuita de una "obra" que de otro modo estaría protegida por derechos de autor para el bien público. [ 1 ] [ a ] ​​Una licencia CC se utiliza cuando un autor desea otorgar a otras personas el derecho a compartir, usar y desarrollar una obra que ha creado. CC proporciona al autor flexibilidad (por ejemplo, puede optar por permitir solo usos no comerciales de una obra determinada) y protege a las personas que usan o redistribuyen la obra de un autor de preocupaciones por infracción de derechos de autor, siempre que cumplan con las condiciones que se especifican en la licencia bajo la cual el autor distribuye la obra. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ]

Existen varios tipos de licencias Creative Commons. Cada licencia se diferencia por diversas combinaciones que condicionan los términos de distribución. Publicada inicialmente en 2002, la suite de licencias ha contado con cinco versiones, numeradas de la 1.0 a la 4.0. [ 7 ] La versión 4.0, publicada en noviembre de 2013, es la más reciente. Si bien las licencias se basaban originalmente en el sistema legal estadounidense, Creative Commons creó puertos de jurisdicción para adaptarse a las leyes internacionales. [ 8 ] [ 9 ]

En octubre de 2014, la Open Knowledge Foundation aprobó las licencias Creative Commons CC  BY, CC  BY-SA y CC0 como conformes con la " Definición Abierta " para contenido y datos. [ 10 ] [ 11 ] [ 12 ]

Historia

Lawrence Lessig y Eric Eldred diseñaron la Licencia Creative Commons (CCL) en 2001 porque vieron la necesidad de una licencia intermedia entre los modos existentes de derechos de autor y el dominio público . La versión 1.0 de las licencias se publicó oficialmente el 16 de diciembre de 2002. [ 13 ]

Orígenes

La CCL permite a los inventores conservar los derechos sobre sus innovaciones, al tiempo que autoriza cierto uso externo de la invención. [ 14 ] La CCL surgió como reacción a la decisión en el caso Eldred v. Ashcroft , en la que la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos dictaminó que las disposiciones de la Ley de Extensión del Plazo de los Derechos de Autor que extendían el plazo de los derechos de autor de las obras eran constitucionales hasta la vida del último autor vivo más 70 años adicionales. [ 14 ]

Transferencia de licencia

Las licencias originales de Creative Commons, sin localización, se redactaron teniendo en cuenta el sistema legal estadounidense; por lo tanto, su redacción puede ser incompatible con la legislación local de otras jurisdicciones , lo que las hace inaplicables en ellas. Para solucionar este problema, Creative Commons solicitó a sus afiliados que tradujeran las distintas licencias para adaptarlas a las leyes locales mediante un proceso denominado « portación ». [ 15 ] En julio de 2011, las licencias de Creative Commons se habían adaptado a más de 50 jurisdicciones en todo el mundo. [ 16 ]

Obras aplicables

Las obras con licencia Creative Commons se rigen por la ley de derechos de autor aplicable. [ 17 ] Esto permite que las licencias Creative Commons se apliquen a todas las obras protegidas por derechos de autor, incluyendo: libros, obras de teatro, películas, música, artículos, fotografías, blogs y sitios web.

Software

Aunque el software también se rige por la ley de derechos de autor y las licencias CC son aplicables, la CC recomienda no usarla en software específicamente debido a las limitaciones de retrocompatibilidad con las licencias de software existentes de uso común. [ 18 ] [ 19 ] En cambio, los desarrolladores pueden recurrir al uso de licencias de software libre y de código abierto (FOSS) más amigables para el software . Fuera del caso de uso de licencias FOSS para software, hay varios ejemplos de uso para utilizar licencias CC para especificar un modelo de licencia " Freeware "; ejemplos son The White Chamber , Mari0 o Assault Cube . [ 20 ] A pesar del estatus de CC0 como la licencia de derechos de autor más libre, la Free Software Foundation no recomienda publicar software en el dominio público usando CC0 debido a preocupaciones de patentes. [ 21 ]

Sin embargo, la aplicación de una licencia Creative Commons no puede modificar los derechos permitidos por el uso legítimo o el trato justo, ni imponer restricciones que violen las excepciones de derechos de autor. [ 22 ] Además, las licencias Creative Commons no son exclusivas ni revocables. [ 23 ] Cualquier obra o copia de la obra obtenida bajo una licencia Creative Commons puede seguir utilizándose bajo esa licencia. [ 24 ]

Cuando las obras están protegidas por más de una licencia Creative Commons, el usuario puede elegir cualquiera de ellas. [ 25 ]

Precondiciones

El autor, o el licenciante en caso de que el autor haya cedido los derechos contractualmente, debe poseer los derechos exclusivos sobre la obra. Si la obra ya se ha publicado bajo una licencia pública, cualquier tercero puede subirla a otra plataforma utilizando una licencia compatible y haciendo referencia y atribución a la licencia original (por ejemplo, mediante la URL de la licencia original). [ 26 ]

Consecuencias

The license is non-exclusive, royalty-free, and unrestricted in terms of territory and duration, so it is irrevocable, unless a new license is granted by the author after the work has been significantly modified. Any use of the work that is not covered by other copyright rules triggers the public license. Upon activation of the license, the licensee must adhere to all conditions of the license, otherwise the license agreement is illegitimate, and the licensee would commit a copyright infringement. The author, or the licensor as a proxy, has the legal rights to act upon any copyright infringement. The licensee has a limited period to correct any non-compliance.[26]

Top: A bar chart detailing what percent of CC-licensed works were under which licenses as of 2014, with licenses arranged by most open to least open from left to right. Among the free culture licenses (licenses that don't restrict commercial use or adaptations), CC0 was used by 4% of CC-licensed works, CC BY by 19%, and CC BY-SA by 33%; among the two non-commercial licenses permitting remixing, CC BY-NC-SA was used by 16% of CC-licensed works and CC BY-NC was used by 4%; the CC BY-ND license was used by 2%, and the most restrictive license, CC BY-NC-ND, was used by 22% of CC-licensed works. Middle: in 2014, 76% of CC-licensed works were under licenses that permit remixing, and 58% were under licenses that permit commercial usage. Bottom: in 2010, 40% of CC-licensed works used a free culture license; in 2014, this grew to 56%.

Four rights

The CC licenses all grant "baseline rights", such as the right to distribute the copyrighted work worldwide for non-commercial purposes and without modification.[27] In addition, different versions of license prescribe different rights, as shown in this table:[28]

The last two clauses are not free content licenses, according to definitions such as DFSG or the Free Software Foundation's standards, and cannot be used in contexts that require these freedoms, such as Wikipedia. For software, Creative Commons includes three free licenses created by other institutions: the BSD License, the GNU LGPL, and the GNU GPL.[29]

Mixing and matching these conditions produces sixteen possible combinations, of which eleven are valid Creative Commons licenses and five are not. Of the five invalid combinations, four include both the "ND" and "SA" clauses, which are mutually exclusive; and one includes none of the clauses. Of the eleven valid combinations, the five that lack the "BY" clause have been retired because 98% of licensors requested attribution, though they do remain available for reference on the website.[30][31][32] This leaves six regularly used licenses plus the CC0 public domain declaration.

Six regularly used licenses

The six licenses in most frequent use are shown in the following table. Among them, those accepted by the Wikimedia Foundation the public domain dedication and two attribution (BY and BY-SA) licenses allow the sharing and remixing (creating derivative works), including for commercial use, so long as attribution is given.[32][33][34]

Besides copyright licenses, Creative Commons also offers CC0, a tool for relinquishing copyright and releasing material into the public domain.[34] CC0 is a legal tool for waiving as many rights as legally possible.[36] When that is not legally possible, CC0 falls back to a public-domain-equivalent license.[36] CC0 began development in 2007[37] and was released in 2009.[38][39] A major target of the license was the scientific data community.[40]

In 2010, Creative Commons announced its Public Domain Mark (PDM),[41][42][43] a symbol used to indicate that a work is free of known copyright restrictions and therefore in the public domain. It is analogous to the copyright symbol, which is commonly used to indicate that a work is copyrighted, often as part of a copyright notice. The Public Domain Mark itself does not release a copyrighted work into the public domain like CC0.

The symbol is encoded in Unicode as U+1F16E🅮CIRCLED C WITH OVERLAID BACKSLASH,[44] which was added in Unicode 13.0 in March 2020.[45]

As there is no single definition of public domain and copyright laws differ by jurisdiction, a work can be in the public domain in some countries while still being under copyright in others (so called hybrid status). It is also difficult to assess the legal status of many works. The PDM is recommended to be used only for works that are likely free from any copyright restrictions worldwide.[46] Together, CC0 and the Public Domain Mark replace the Public Domain Dedication and Certification,[47] which took a U.S.-centric approach and co-mingled distinct operations.

In 2011, the Free Software Foundation added CC0 to its free software licenses. However, the Free Software Foundation currently does not recommend using CC0 to release software into the public domain because it explicitly does not grant a patent license.[21]

In February 2012, CC0 was submitted to Open Source Initiative (OSI) for their approval.[48] However, controversy arose over its clause which excluded from the scope of the license any relevant patents held by the copyright holder. This clause was added for scientific data rather than software, but some members of the OSI believed it could weaken users' defenses against software patents. As a result, Creative Commons withdrew their submission, and the license is not currently approved by the OSI.[40][49]

From 2013 to 2017, the stock photography website Unsplash used the CC0 license,[50][51] distributing several million free photos a month.[52]Lawrence Lessig, the founder of Creative Commons, has contributed to the site.[53] Unsplash moved from using the CC0 license to a custom license in June 2017[54] and to an explicitly nonfree license in February 2018.

In October 2014, the Open Knowledge Foundation approved the Creative Commons CC0 as conformant with the Open Definition and recommended the license to dedicate content to the public domain.[11][12]

In July 2022, Fedora Linux disallowed software licensed under CC0 due to patent rights explicitly not being waived under the license.[55]

Retired licenses

Due to either disuse or criticism, a number of previously offered Creative Commons licenses have since been retired,[30][56] and are no longer recommended for new works. The retired licenses include all licenses lacking the Attribution element other than CC0, as well as the following four licenses:

  • Developing Nations License: a license which only applies to developing countries deemed to be "non-high-income economies" by the World Bank. Full copyright restrictions apply to people in other countries.[57]
  • Sampling: parts of the work can be used for any purpose other than advertising, but the whole work cannot be copied or modified[58]
  • Sampling Plus: parts of the work can be copied and modified for any purpose other than advertising, and the entire work can be copied for noncommercial purposes[59]
  • NonCommercial Sampling Plus: the whole work or parts of the work can be copied and modified for non-commercial purposes[60]

Version 4.0

The latest version 4.0 of the Creative Commons licenses, released on November 25, 2013, are generic licenses that are applicable to most jurisdictions and do not usually require ports.[61][62][63][28] No new ports have been implemented in version 4.0 of the license.[64] Version 4.0 discourages using ported versions and instead acts as a single global license.[65] Additionally, there is a thirty-day grace period to correct the breach of the licensing terms by the licensee and have their rights reinstated. Prior to 4.0 the licensee would lose their rights after breaking the license's terms. This does not impact the ability for licensors to seek remedies.[62][66] In addition it allows licensors to request to remove attribution form verbatim work which prior to 4.0 only applied to adaptations.[62]

Rights and obligations

Attribution

Since 2004, all current licenses other than the CC0 and CC-PD variant require attribution of the original author, as signified by the BY component (as in the preposition "by").[31] The attribution must be given to "the best of [one's] ability using the information available".[67] Creative Commons suggests the mnemonic "TASL": titleauthor – source [web link] – [CC] licence. Generally this implies the following:

  • Include any copyright notices (if applicable). If the work itself contains any copyright notices placed there by the copyright holder, those notices must be left intact, or reproduced in a way that is reasonable to the medium in which the work is being re-published.
  • Cite the author's name, screen name, or user ID, etc. If the work is being published on the Internet, it is nice to link that name to the person's profile page, if such a page exists.
  • Cite the work's title or name (if applicable), if such a thing exists. If the work is being published on the Internet, it is nice to link the name or title directly to the original work.
  • Cite the specific CC license the work is under. If the work is being published on the Internet, it is nice if the license citation links to the license on the CC website.
  • Mention if the work is a derivative work or adaptation. In addition to the above, one needs to identify that their work is a derivative work, e.g., "This is a Finnish translation of [original work] by [author]." or "Screenplay based on [original work] by [author]."

Non-commercial licenses

The NonCommercial license allows image creators to restrict selling and profiting from their works by other parties and thus maintaining free of charge access to images.

The "non-commercial" option included in some Creative Commons licenses is controversial in definition,[68] as it is sometimes unclear what can be considered a non-commercial setting, and application, since its restrictions differ from the principles of open content promoted by other permissive licenses.[69] In 2014 Wikimedia Deutschland published a guide to using Creative Commons licenses as wiki pages for translations and as PDF.[26]

Adaptability

An example of a permitted combination of two works, one being CC BY-SA and the other being public domain

Rights in an adaptation can be expressed by a CC license that is compatible with the status or licensing of the original work or works on which the adaptation is based.[70]

The legal implications of large numbers of works having Creative Commons licensing are difficult to predict, and there is speculation that media creators often lack insight to be able to choose the license which best meets their intent in applying it.[73]

Some works licensed using Creative Commons licenses have been involved in several court cases.[74] Creative Commons itself was not a party to any of these cases; they only involved licensors or licensees of Creative Commons licenses. When the cases went as far as decisions by judges (that is, they were not dismissed for lack of jurisdiction or were not settled privately out of court), they have all validated the legal robustness of Creative Commons public licenses.

Dutch tabloid

In early 2006, podcaster Adam Curry sued a Dutch tabloid who published photos from Curry's Flickr page without Curry's permission. The photos were licensed under the Creative Commons Non-Commercial license. While the verdict was in favor of Curry, the tabloid avoided having to pay restitution to him as long as they did not repeat the offense. Professor Bernt Hugenholtz, main creator of the Dutch CC license and director of the Institute for Information Law of the University of Amsterdam, commented, "The Dutch Court's decision is especially noteworthy because it confirms that the conditions of a Creative Commons license automatically apply to the content licensed under it, and binds users of such content even without expressly agreeing to, or having knowledge of, the conditions of the license."[75][76][77][78]

Virgin Mobile

In 2007, Virgin Mobile Australia launched an advertising campaign promoting their cellphone text messaging service using the work of amateur photographers who uploaded their work to Flickr using a Creative Commons-BY (Attribution) license. Users licensing their images this way freed their work for use by any other entity, as long as the original creator was attributed credit, without any other compensation required. Virgin upheld this single restriction by printing a URL leading to the photographer's Flickr page on each of their ads. However, one picture, depicting 15-year-old Alison Chang at a fund-raising carwash for her church,[79] caused some controversy when she sued Virgin Mobile. The photo was taken by Alison's church youth counselor, Justin Ho-Wee Wong, who uploaded the image to Flickr under the Creative Commons license.[79] In 2008, the case (concerning personality rights rather than copyright as such) was thrown out of a Texas court for lack of jurisdiction.[80][81]

SGAE vs Fernández

In the fall of 2006, the collecting societySociedad General de Autores y Editores (SGAE) in Spain sued Ricardo Andrés Utrera Fernández, owner of a disco bar located in Badajoz who played CC-licensed music. SGAE argued that Fernández should pay royalties for public performance of the music between November 2002 and August 2005. The Lower Court rejected the collecting society's claims because the owner of the bar proved that the music he was using was not managed by the society.[82]

In February 2006, the Cultural Association Ladinamo (based in Madrid, and represented by Javier de la Cueva) was granted the use of copyleft music in their public activities. The sentence said:

Admitting the existence of music equipment, a joint evaluation of the evidence practiced, this court is convinced that the defendant prevents communication of works whose management is entrusted to the plaintiff [SGAE], using a repertoire of authors who have not assigned the exploitation of their rights to the SGAE, having at its disposal a database for that purpose and so it is manifested both by the legal representative of the Association and by Manuela Villa Acosta, in charge of the cultural programming of the association, which is compatible with the alternative character of the Association and its integration in the movement called 'copyleft'.[83]

GateHouse Media, Inc. v. That's Great News, LLC

On June 30, 2010, GateHouse Media filed a lawsuit against That's Great News, LLC. GateHouse Media owns a number of local newspapers, including Rockford Register Star, which is based in Rockford, Illinois. That's Great News makes plaques out of newspaper articles and sells them to the people featured in the articles.[84] GateHouse sued That's Great News for copyright infringement and breach of contract. GateHouse claimed that That's Great News violated the non-commercial and no-derivative works restrictions on GateHouse Creative Commons licensed work when they published the material on their website. The case was settled on August 17, 2010, though the terms of the settlement were not made public.[84][85]

Drauglis v. Kappa Map Group, LLC

In 2007, photographer Art Drauglis uploaded several pictures to the photo-sharing website Flickr, giving them the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 Generic License (CC BY-SA). One photo, titled "Swain's Lock, Montgomery Co., MD.", was downloaded by Kappa Map Group, a map-making company, and published in 2012 on the front cover of Montgomery Co. Maryland Street Atlas. The text "Photo: Swain's Lock, Montgomery Co., MD Photographer: Carly Lesser & Art Drauglis, Creative Commoms [sic], CC-BY-SA-2.0" was placed on the back cover, but nothing on the front indicated authorship.

La validez de la licencia CC BY-SA 2.0 no estaba en disputa. CC  BY-SA  2.0 exige que el licenciatario utilice términos no menos restrictivos que los de CC BY-SA 2.0. El atlas se vendió comercialmente y no para su reutilización gratuita por terceros. La disputa radicaba en si los términos de la licencia de Drauglis que se aplicarían a las "obras derivadas" se aplicaban a todo el atlas. Drauglis demandó a los demandados en junio de 2014 por infracción de derechos de autor e incumplimiento de licencia, solicitando medidas declarativas y cautelares, daños y perjuicios, honorarios y costas. Drauglis afirmó, entre otras cosas, que Kappa Map Group "excedió el alcance de la licencia porque el demandado no publicó el atlas bajo una licencia con los mismos términos o similares a aquellos bajo los cuales se licenció originalmente la fotografía". [ 86 ] El juez desestimó el caso por ese motivo, dictaminando que el atlas no era una obra derivada de la fotografía en el sentido de la licencia, sino más bien una obra colectiva . Dado que el atlas no era una obra derivada de la fotografía, Kappa Map Group no necesitaba licenciar todo el atlas bajo la licencia CC BY-SA 2.0. El juez también determinó que la obra había sido debidamente atribuida. [ 87 ]

En particular, el juez determinó que era suficiente dar crédito al autor de la foto con la misma prominencia que a los autores de autoría similar (como los autores de los mapas individuales que aparecen en el libro) y que el nombre "CC-BY-SA-2.0" es suficientemente preciso para localizar la licencia correcta en internet y puede considerarse un identificador válido para la licencia. [ 4 ]

Verband zum Schutz geistigen Eigentums im Internet (VGSE)

En julio de 2016, la revista informática alemana LinuxUser informó que un bloguero alemán, Christoph Langner, utilizó dos fotografías con licencia CC BY del fotógrafo berlinés Dennis Skley en su blog privado Linuxundich. Langner mencionó debidamente al autor y la licencia, y añadió un enlace a la obra original. Posteriormente, la Verband zum Schutz geistigen Eigentums im Internet (VGSE) (Asociación para la Protección de la Propiedad Intelectual en Internet) se puso en contacto con Langner para exigirle el pago de 2300 € por no proporcionar el nombre completo de la obra, el nombre completo del autor, el texto de la licencia y un enlace a la fuente, tal como lo exige la letra pequeña de la licencia. De esta suma, 40 € se destinarían al fotógrafo, y el resto lo retendría la VGSE. [ 88 ] [ 89 ] El Tribunal Regional Superior de Colonia desestimó la demanda en mayo de 2019. [ 90 ]

Obras bajo licencia Creative Commons

Creative Commons maintains a content directory wiki of organizations and projects using Creative Commons licenses.[91] On its website CC also provides case studies of projects using CC licenses across the world.[92] CC licensed content can also be accessed through a number of content directories and search engines.

Unicode symbols

After being proposed by Creative Commons in 2017,[93] Creative Commons license symbols were added to Unicode with version 13.0 in 2020.[94] The circle with an equal sign (meaning no derivatives) is present in older versions of Unicode, unlike all the other symbols.

These symbols can be used in succession to indicate a particular Creative Commons license, for example, CC-BY-SA (CC-Attribution-ShareAlike) can be expressed with Unicode symbols CIRCLED CC, CIRCLED HUMAN FIGURE and CIRCLED ANTICLOCKWISE ARROW placed next to each other: 🅭🅯🄎

Case law database

In December 2020, the Creative Commons organization launched an online database covering licensing case law and legal scholarship.[95][96]

Notes

  1. A "work" is any creative material made by a person. A painting, a graphic, a book, a song and its lyrics, or a photograph of almost anything are all examples of "works".
