Abstract
[edit | edit source]The Creative Commons licenses have just reached their 20th birthday. Now on Version 4.0, the CC licenses are some of the most widely-used licenses for free cultural works. In this session, Creative Commons legal staff and invited experts will discuss the past 20 years of license stewardship, and its aim to make the licenses continue to be useful to and trusted by the free and open knowledge communities. This session will preview a renewed commitment to working with the wider community to ensure that the CC licenses reflect the changing international legal landscape and the needs of diverse communities of license users, and invite community discussion on goals and principles.
Session Outcomes

I'm planning to attend this session live!
