Week 8 / More WIPO: Contracts and Licenses

Topic 16
Could this kind of contract be non-binding in some cases?

Contract logically can´t be non-binding... But. It seems to me, that some types of CC licenses are contracts, which allow everything without any specific terms. So it´s binding contract that allow you to operate with this IP without any engagements... Copyleft seems to me be as strict as copyright (it´s just opposite). Real change is for me CC.

And one joke:



"Creative Commons rolled out CC0 (read “CC Zero”) to respond to this problem. CC0 is a universal waiver that may be used by anyone wishing to permanently surrender the copyright and database rights they may have in a work, thereby placing it as nearly as possible into the public domain; essentially, it is a "no rights reserved" option. CC0 is universal in form and may be used throughout the world for any kind of content"source
