On December 19 I obtained the first Italian judgment about the application of Creative Commons licenses. I obtained it not as an attorney but as an author of technical books who had a bad experience with a famous Italian publishing company called Franco Angeli Edizioni. The book in issue is "Apriti standard! Interoperabilità e formati aperti per l'innovazione tecnologica", later published by Ledizioni and itself available under a CC by-sa license. The verdict, which came after a four years trial, is not properly about intellectual property issues; actually it has been a precontractual liability case, ruled by an ordinary civil court and not by the IP specialized court. However it provides an interesting view of the level of awareness that mainstream publishers have of these licenses.
