So, is the time ripe yet for us to start pushing for a 14-year term, or do we wait a bit? I suggest we start contemplating it, however.
I think it's about time.
0 years best, but I think some unauthorized sharing data could support a merely shorter term
Mike - you mean you think all CC licenses should converge to CC0 immediately?
We should figure out a reasonable term for the sort of rights that are currently covered by 'copyright' and embed that term into all free culture licenses. That includes all CC and FOSS licenses: all should explicitly term out before the ultralong default term. In practice that might mean automatically switching to CC0 at the end of the shorter term.
I don't think the right term here is "0 years". It is also not "life + 70". Perhaps "7 + 7".
