Creative Commons Wants To Step Into Lawsuit Over Definition Of 'Noncommercial' In A CC License | Techdirt

Summary:

"Earlier this year, it appears that a new version of this kind of lawsuit was filed by Great Minds, an educational non-profit, against FedEx, the shipping giant who also took over what used to be known as Kinkos copy shops, now rebranded as FedEx or FedEx Office."

...

"Here's the twist: the works in question, Great Minds released under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license, or the Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike license. So at the heart of this issue is what is meant by "noncommercial" in this license."
