[Wikimedia-l] [cc-licenses] The termination provision

[Diane Peters]

To answer Greg's question, in 3.0:

"You" means an individual or entity exercising rights under this License
who has not previously violated the terms of this License with respect to
the Work, or who has received express permission from the Licensor to
exercise rights under this License despite a previous violation.

In 4.0d2, we moved the "express permission"  to the termination provision
in Section 5(a), the intention being the same operation as in 3.0 but
placed in a more appropriate location in the license.

This Public License is perpetual for the duration of the term of the
underlying copyright or Copyright-like Rights licensed by Licensor. If You
fail to comply with any condition of this Public License, this Public
License terminates automatically, and You must obtain express approval from
Licensor to use the Work thereafter.

As already noted, this is open for discussion and we welcome this
discussion.
