5. so
why
do
we
did
all
this
por7ng
in
the
first
place?
Ensure
that
the
licenses
would
‘work’
with
the
specifici6es
of
copyright
law
in
our
jurisdic6on.
Assump6on:
this
makes
it
easier
to
convince
local
users
Assump6on:
this
makes
the
licenses
enforceable
in
local
courts
Build
jurisdic6on
teams
&
communi6es
around
the
licenses.
Effect:
strong
community
(all
of
you
in
this
room)
Effect:
improves
understanding
of
the
licenses
among
jurisdic6on
teams

15. What
advantages
will
a
global
license
have?
Reducing
(poten6al)
incompa6bili6es
Forces
us
to
take
a
consistent
posi6on
on
issues
that
are
specific
to
certain
regions
(e.g
moral
rights,
database
rights)
Will
produce
licenses
that
beJer
meet
users’
expecta6ons
Will
cover
all
jurisdic6ons,
not
‘just’

16. What
advantages
will
a
global
license
have?
Has
the
poten6al
to
ini6ate
a
inter-­‐jurisdic6onal
discussion
on
the
substance
of
the
licenses.
