Creative Commons license upheld by court | CNET News.com:


A court in the Netherlands has ruled that a Creative Commons license is binding in a case brought against a Dutch gossip magazine by an ex-MTV star.

This is one of the first times that the license--which offers more flexibility than traditional copyright licenses--has been tested in a court of law, according to legal Web site Groklaw.

"The Creative Commons licenses are quite new, so there has been very little in the way of case law so far, so this is a significant development," Groklaw reported.
