[Opendiscussion] Welcome to the public discussion of the Creative Commons license for Vietnam!

[Catharina Maracke]

Dear all!

Welcome to the discussion of the Creative Commons licenses for Vietnam!

It's my great pleasure to introduce you to the project leads and key  
people for the Vietnamese Creative Commons project: The project is  
hosted by the Vietnam Education Foundation and led by Dr. Lynne  
McNamara, Dr. Phuong Nguyen, and Mr. Tu Ngo. D&N International and  
especially Thuy Dang, Managing Partner, and Hang Dang, Partner of the  
Firm have kindly collaborated on the legal work for the first  
Vietnamese license draft. Further details can be found at:

Please feel free to review, comment, and make suggestions or ask  
questions about topics that will help the licenses comply with  
Vietnamese law. The role of this discussion is to start the public  
debate and to make the least amount of changes necessary to bring the  
license into accord with Vietnamese law. Also, please feel free to ask  
general questions about the licenses in the cc-mailing list

> http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-licenses

Part of the fun of this discussion will be, I hope, that we get to  
compare the quirks and eccentricities of our respective nations'  
copyright laws.

We expect the archived discussions to serve as a history of this  
experience. That way, your input will continue be useful to anyone  
from any country even after the discussion for Vietnam is completed  
and the localized licenses are launched.

I am very much looking forward to a fruitful and open discussion!

Thank you very much.

All the best,

Catharina
