> After two years in development, we’re pleased to unveil Version 4.0 of the Creative Commons license suite.
>
> You can now visit the CC website to get your new license. While you’re there, please consider making a gift of $25 to carry Creative Commons into 2014.
>
> More than any CC license before, Version 4.0 reflects the power of our global community. We have spent the past six years working with hundreds of volunteers worldwide — literally, some of the best minds in copyright law and open licensing on the planet — to translate and adapt CC licenses to local laws in more than 60 countries. In the process, we’ve learned a lot about how our licenses work internationally.
>
> That is why Version 4.0 is the most internationally enforceable set of licenses to date. 4.0 won’t need to be adapted for use in every country. It just works. Everywhere.
>
> These licenses are a symbol of the dedication and diversity of the Creative Commons community, a community that you join when you license or use content under CC licenses. We’re glad to be on Team Open with you.
>
> Be proud of what we’ve accomplished together. Make a donation to support Creative Commons.

ABSTRACT
Studies of political discussions online have been dominated by approaches that focus exclusively on deliberation, ignoring other equally relevant communication norms. This study conducts a normative assessment of discussion spaces in two prominent web platforms—Twitter hashtags and newspaper comment sections devoted to particular political issues—applying the norms of communitarianism, liberal individualism, and deliberation. The platforms’ distinct design features and users’ left/right issue stances emerge as significant predictors of normative differences.
