CCD CopyWrite Community

At this time, the only CCD CopyWrite community resource available is the mailing list.  It exists to provide a venue for discussion, updates on the development of the CCD CopyWrite license, and feedback to its maintainer(s).

To sign up for the CCD CopyWrite mailing list, you may use the mailing list subscription page.

The CCD CopyWrite mailing list is provided through the Software Liberation Front as a means of getting timely updates on changes and new versions for the CCD CopyWrite License, and to provide a forum for discussion of the license and its development.  List members will be provided access to in-development versions of the license, and encouraged to comment.  Anything akin to feedback, questions not answered on the CCD CopyWrite website itself, or "bug" reports, as long as it relates to the license, is on-topic for this list.

List members should adhere to some simple rules of etiquette when posting to the list:

• Never use HTML emails.  HTML emails are used by spammers, may contain phishing code, and don't render well in the text-only mail user agents and email clients of some members.


• Don't be a problem child.  Trolling and other childishness is unlikely to be tolerated.  Complaints to the list moderator/admin will be quickly and decisively considered, and trolls tend to be on the losing side of such decisions.


• Don't top-post.  For more information about top posting and other matters of quoting and responding in mailing list email communications, see the Jargon Wiki article about Best Online Quoting Practices.


• Stay on topic.  While there is some room for tangents, you should attempt to keep discussion on the CCD CopyWrite mailing list on-topic at all times.  That means that all discussion should relate in some way to the CCD CopyWrite license itself.


• Do not group-reply.  For the express purpose of ensuring that group replying is not necessary, this mailing list's "reply-to:" header is set so that replies to list communications go to the mailing list by default.  You may also use "list-reply:" to reply to the list.  If you wish to respond directly to the sender of an email sent through the list, you should either use the group reply functionality of your email client or mail user agent and edit out unwanted addresses, or find the sender's email address in your email headers and enter it in the appropriate place yourself when composing the email.  We realize that some people consider "reply-to:" munging "harmful", but we are not those people.


• Fix digest reply subject lines.  Don't just send emails to the list with a digest email title, if you receive your list traffic in digest-mode.  It helps others to figure out whether your comments are of interest to them if the subject line of your reply is relevant.

While the Software Liberation Front provides the domain name for the CCD CopyWrite mailing list, this should not be construed as an indication that it exerts direct control over the license's development at all.  Aside from the fact that several people are involved in both the SLF and the CCD CopyWrite community, there is no other relationship between the two.  The SLF endorses the CCD CopyWrite license, but this does not mean that use of the CCD CopyWrite license endorses or supports the Software Liberation Front.  For more information on this subject, see the SLF page on this website.
