CC Singapore License Draft in Public Discussion
Michelle Thorne, June 23rd, 2008
On behalf of CC Singapore, we are pleased to announce that the draft of CC BY-NC-SA adapted to Singaporean law (PDF) is now in public discussion. The CC Singapore team, lead by Anil Samtani and Giorgos Cheliotis and hosted at the Centre for Asia Pacific Technology Law & Policy (CAPTEL), has been working with Creative Commons International to port the licenses to local copyright legislation. A launch event to celebrate Singapore’s completed licensing suite is scheduled in for July 27th.
As part of the public discussion, we warmly invite you to join CC Singapore’s discussion list and share your comments with local and international legal experts.
Thank you and congratulations to CC Singapore!
