CC license confirmed in Dutch court
As netzpolitik.de reports, a Creative Commons license was tested in court for the first time, and it held up. A magazine had used a CC NC-BY-SA licensed photograph found on flickr. Since this constituted commercial use, which the license does not allow for, that use infringed the owner’s copyright.
Though the magazine got off relatively lightly, with just EUR 1000 to pay in case of repeating the infringement, it’s good to know that the licence is watertight. The copyright holder in question, btw, was ex-MTV VJ Adam Curry.
