[QUOTE="jdrakeh, post: 3632312, member: 13892"] Actually, the Creative Commons Deed requires that "For any reuse or distribution, you must make clear to others the license terms of this work. The best way to do this is with a link to this web page." (i.e., in other words, you must link to or include the license in the work). And the totally nebulous nature of "Attribution: You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work)." would make consulting an attorney necessary (or at the least, recommended), as the wording of the license leaves you entirely at the mercy of the person issuing it where attribution is concerned. The truth is that, in neither instance, does the CCD have a clear edge over the OGL. In fact, I'd give the edge to the OGL here as it specifically defines the parameters of attribution in back and white text, while the CCD does not define them [i]at all[/i]. [/QUOTE]
