This is the first time I've looked at Creative Commons. Does the wording make sense? Is there a better way of putting it?
It's a very difficult problem because we are dealing with so many jurisdictions. I was having a look at Project Gutenberg and noticed that they had gone a different way. And I suspect it would have been a huge problem for them. It may be worth emailing them to ask about their experience with the issue. I also wonder whether the Electronic Frontiers Foundation in the EFF would be prepared to provide some free advice about what can be done in that country.
