OpenBusiness.cc's Christian Ahlert sez, "We just posted a new license that's meant to help artists and creative entrepreneurs who want to enter into a commercial relationship without using a lawyer. The license was drafted by Creative Commons South Africa — one partner of OpenBusiness.
"It is designed to assist creators who release work under a Creative Commons license and want to engage with a publisher or gallery (for example) in a commercial relationship. They can use the Model Agency Agreement to structure the commercial relationship. The document provides a way to by-pass the legal costs of entering a commercial relationship. In this way it very much acts like a Creative Commons license, as it provides a free tool for creators to specify their rights and demands. In that sense one can call it a Commercial Commons License."
(Thanks, Christian!)
