Today is a big day.
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.
