Concerns

Is this a copyright waiver = No Rights Reserved of something broader that waives other rights like:

• Patents
• Trademarks
• Unfair competition
• Privacy rights
• Publicity rights
• Commercial rights
• Database Rights

signature notes

• Do we need signatures?
• Can a serious of emails qualify as a signature?

jurisdiction specific

• Chile = copyright act - art. 86 ...all the patrimonial rights as unrenunciable by authors
• Spain = similar issues in Spain as Chile: PD = waived rights and some rights can not be waived.
• UK may require a signature for waiving moral right (Cite needed)

>> 87 (2)" Any of those rights may be waived by instrument in writing signed by the person giving up the right."

>> 87(4) of course gives us some wiggle room but I'm not sure how well it would work out with regards to moral rights.

• German Moral rights unalienable (Cite needed)

• other?

FAQ

• Is CC keeping track of PD stuff? No
• Is it a waiver or a licenses? Maybe jurisdiction dependent?
