A New Royalty Free License

Cutcaster is attempting to create a new type of Royalty Free license and way people get more security, assurances and rights then what currently is allowed under your typical RF contract. The CC license will address the way that people can use the rights granted in the agreement and how they can request extended rights from the seller for other uses. CC knows that this can be written in less confusing language and still provide security for both parties. We want to work with our community to customize a new contract that accepts the realities of the new media licensing landscape and addresses issues for example such as usage, indemnity, archiving and access. These issues shouldn’t be something that scare or confuses people but open a frank discussion about the ways the licensing contracts can be made clearer to avoid the old issues. To often there are multiple opinions on what these RF clauses mean. Where can parts of your standard RF contract be changed? Where do you want to see changes? What changes are fair?

Please see the RF license at CC here. This will evolve only with your help.
