Licenses
CC+COOPY is published as commercial cooperative licenses in combination with Creative Commons non-commercial licenses (CC+); COOPY grants a commercial license for all the activities granted under the companion CC License provided the cooperative terms and conditions are met. These vary depending on which non-commercial license is supported.
There are two variants at present, COOPYright which we apply by default to content recording human expression such as video of performances, music recordings and photographs, and COOPYshare which we apply by default to works of authorship, programming and inventions. Any item of content may be labelled as COOPYright or COOPYshare to confirm or change the default, or as CC+COOPY to indicate that either variant is used according to the default applicability.
COOPYright means licensed for non-commercial use, under a
Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License
which prohibits derived works. Licensor extends the same license rights for commercial use, provided Licenee agrees
to copy, use or perform the work intact including any advertising,
product referal or other revenue generating mechanisms and not to
remove, tamper with or disable any part thereof.
COOPYshare means licensed for non-commercial use under a
Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States License,
and for commercial use Licensor agrees that any revenue will be shared
fairly among copyright and other stake holders according to cooperative
principles set out in our COOPYshare page.
For example the Coopyshare licence is COOPYshare by action of the default. The Family Systems inventions on www.ibook.com are likewise, as are the arrangements of songs on uplay2 by Brian Reynolds.
Derivation: This Family Systems Cooperative License V4.1 known as CC+COOPY is part of the Ibook Systems software business of Family Systems Ltd and is derived from the provisions of the enrolment rules of Ibook System V3 and the cooperative business model incorporated by reference therein. It is further adapted and simplified to build upon Creative Commons Licensing for non-commercial use. Inclusion statement: Any use of CC+COOPY, its forebears and derivations in whole or in part are themselves subject to the CC+COOPY Licenses.
