Open Art License version 1.0
http://three.org/openart/

1. Introduction
If you're reading this, it's probably because you want to re-use someone else's creative work. In applying this license, the original creator decided that it's good to share, but even better when you know the person you're sharing with. The Open Art License aims to foster such connections, by adding a registration requirement onto some of the "copyleft" or "sharealike" provisions of licenses like the Gnu General Public License (GPL) and Creative Commons licenses.

The "art" embodied by the original work may be any creative endeavor, including audio or visual works, performances, or software.

Remember, if you want to use the work in a way inconsistent with these terms, just contact the original creator--you may be able to work something out.

You are reading the human-readable text of the Open Art License. For versions that meant to be read by lawyers or machines, please contact Jon Ippolito via pool DOT culture AT umit DOT maine DOT edu.

2. Main terms
This license grants you automatic permission to re-use the work provided you follow these conditions:

a. Attribution
The original credits must be incorporated verbatim into the artifact produced by the reuse. For example, the composer of a song with this restriction must be listed in the credits of a video if that song is used as its sound track.

b. Noncommercial
The reuse is not for profit. For example, an audio file with this restriction could be used as the sound track for an educational video available for the cost of shipping and handling, but not as the soundtrack for a BMW commercial.

c. Registration
Any reuse must be registered in a specified community network. For example, someone who reuses a script from one of the Creation Pools at  http://pool.newmedia.umaine.edu/ would need to add a reference to their derivative work in one of the Reference Pools, with a relationship (such as Transforms or Uses In Combination) back to the original script.

d. View Source
The source file/s for the work must remain accessible to the public. For example, a song created with a music editor like Fruityloops must be released in both its final (mp3) and source (.flp) formats. (The Combinations and Transformations rights dictate whether reuse includes the right to modify such source file/s.)

e. Sharealike Combinations
Whatever license terms restrict the original artifact must restrict other works combined with it in the future. For example, if a composer makes her song freely available for noncommercial purposes, then a video incorporating that song must also be available under the same terms. Also called "copyleft".

f. Sharealike Transformations
Whatever license terms restrict the original artifact must restrict reuses as well. For example, if a composer makes her song freely available for noncommercial purposes, then a remix of that song must also be available under the same terms. Also called "copyleft".

3. Additional terms
a. Your re-use of the original work must contain this license text or a link back to http://three.org/openart/open_art_license_v01.0.txt.

b. To the extent legally possible, your use of the original work is provided "as is" without warranty.

c. To the extent legally possible, the author of the original work isn't liable for any damages caused by your re-use of the work.
