the Free Art License, v1.2:

    Free Art License

    http://artlibre.org/licence/lal/en/ 

    version 1.2

    Preamble :

    With this Free Art License, you are authorised to copy, distribute
    and freely transform the work of art while respecting the rights
    of the originator.

    Far from ignoring the author's rights, this license recognises
    them and protects them. It reformulates their principle while
    making it possible for the public to make creative use of the
    works of art. Whereas current literary and artistic property
    rights result in restriction of the public's access to works of
    art, the goal of the Free Art License is to encourage such access.

    The intention is to make work accessible and to authorise the use
    of its resources by the greatest number of people: to use it in
    order to increase its use, to create new conditions for creation
    in order to multiply the possibilities of creation, while
    respecting the originators in according them recognition and
    defending their moral rights.

    In fact, with the arrival of the digital age, the invention of the
    Internet and free software, a new approach to creation and
    production has made its appearance. It also encourages a
    continuation of the process of experimentation undertaken by many
    contemporary artists.

    Knowledge and creativity are resources which, to be true to
    themselves, must remain free, i.e. remain a fundamental search
    which is not directly related to a concrete application. Creating
    means discovering the unknown, means inventing a reality without
    any heed to realism. Thus, the object(ive) of art is not
    equivalent to the finished and defined art object.
    This is the basic aim of this Free Art License: to promote and
    protect artistic practice freed from the rules of the market
    economy.

    DEFINITIONS

    - The work of art :
    A communal work which includes the initial artwork as well as all
    subsequent contributions (subsequent originals and copies). It is
    created at the initiative of the original artist who, by this
    license, defines the conditions according to which the
    contributions are made.

    - The original work of art :
    This is the artwork created by the initiator of the communal work,
    of which copies will be modified by whosoever wishes.

    - Subsequent works :
    These are the additions put forward by the artists who contribute
    to the formation of the work by taking advantage of the right to
    reproduction, distribution and modification that this license
    confers on them.

    - The Original (the work's source or resource) :
    A dated example of the work, of its definition, of its partition
    or of its program which the originator provides as the reference
    for all future updatings, interpretations, copies or
    reproductions.

    - Copy :
    Any reproduction of an original as defined by this license.

    - The author or the artist of the original work of art:
    This is the person who created the work which is at the heart of
    the ramifications of this modified work of art. By this license,
    the author determines the conditions under which these
    modifications are made.

    - Contributor:
    Any person who contributes to the creation of the work of art. He
    is the author or the artist of an original art object resulting
    from the modification of a copy of the initial artwork or the
    modification of a copy of a subsequent work of art.

    1. AIMS

    The aim of this license is to define the conditions according to
    which you can use this work freely.

    2. EXTENT OF THE USAGE

    This work of art is subject to copyright, and the author, by this
    license, specifies the extent to which you can copy, distribute
    and modify it.

    2.1 FREEDOM TO COPY (OR OF REPRODUCTION)

    You have the right to copy this work of art for your personal use,
    for your friends or for any other person, by employing whatever
    technique you choose.

    2.2 FREEDOM TO DISTRIBUTE, TO INTERPRET (OR OF REPRESENTATION)

    You can freely distribute the copies of these works, modified or
    not, whatever their medium, wherever you wish, for a fee or for
    free, if you observe all the following conditions:
    - attach this license, in its entirety, to the copies or indicate
    precisely where the license can be found,
    - specify to the recipient the name of the author of the originals,
    - specify to the recipient where he will be able to access the
    originals (original and subsequent). The author of the original
    may, if he wishes, give you the right to broadcast/distribute the
    original under the same conditions as the copies.

    2.3 FREEDOM TO MODIFY

    You have the right to modify the copies of the originals (original
    and subsequent), partially or otherwise, respecting the conditions
    set out in article 2.2 , in the event of distribution (or
    representation) of the modified copy. The author of the original
    may, if he wishes, give you the right to modify the original under
    the same conditions as the copies.

    3. INCORPORATION OF ARTWORK

    All the elements of this work of art must remain free, which is
    why you are not allowed to integrate the originals (originals and
    subsequents) into another work which would not be subject to this
    license.

    4. YOUR AUTHOR'S RIGHTS

    The object of this license is not to deny your author's rights on
    your contribution. By choosing to contribute to the evolution of
    this work of art, you only agree to give to others the same rights
    with regard to your contribution as those which were granted to
    you by this license.

    5. DURATION OF THE LICENCE

    This license takes effect as of your acceptance of its
    provisions. The fact of copying, distributing, or of modifying the
    work constitutes a tacit agreement. This license will remain in
    force for as long as the copyright which is attached to the work
    of art. If you do not respect the terms of this license, you
    automatically lose the rights that it confers. If the legal status
    to which you are subject makes it impossible for you to respect
    the terms of this license, you may not make use of the rights
    which it confers.

    6. VARIOUS VERSIONS OF THE LICENCE

    This license may undergo periodic modifications to incorporate
    improvements by its authors (instigators of the "copyleft
    attitude" movement) by way of new, numbered versions.

    You will have the choice of accepting the provisions contained in
    the version under which the copy was communicated to you, or
    alternatively, to use the provisions of one of the subsequent
    versions.

    7. SUB-LICENSING

    Sub-licenses are not authorized by the present license. Any person
    who wishes to make use of the rights that it confers will be
    directly bound to the author of the original work.

    8. THE LAW APPLICABLE TO THIS CONTRACT

    This license is subject to French law.


    DIRECTIONS FOR USE :

    - How to use the Free Art license?

    To benefit from the Free Art License, it is enough to specify the
    following on your work of art:

    [- A few lines to indicate the name of the work and to give an
    idea of what it is.]
    [- A few lines to describe, if necessary, the modified work of art
    and give the name of the author/artist.]
    Copyright © [the date] [name of the author or artist] (if
    appropriate, specify the names of the previous authors or artists)
    Copyleft: this work of art is free, you can redistribute it and/or
    modify it according to terms of the Free Art license.
    You will find a specimen of this license on the site Copyleft
    Attitude http://artlibre.org as well as on other sites.

    - Why use the Free Art license?

    1 / to give the greatest number of people access to your work.

    2 / to allow it to be freely distributed.

    3 / to allow it to evolve by authorising its transformation by others.

    4 / to be able, yourself, to use the resources of a work when it
    is under Free Art license: to copy, distribute or transform it
    freely.

    5 / This is not all: because the use of the Free Art License is
    also a good way to take liberties with the marketing system
    generated by the dominant economy. The Free Art License offers a
    useful legal protocol to prevent abusive appropriation. It will no
    longer be possible for someone to appropriate your work,
    short-circuiting the creative process to make personal profit from
    it. Helping yourself to a collective work in progress will be
    forbidden, as will monopolising the resources of an evolving
    creation for the benefit of a few.

    The Free Art License advocates an economy appropriate for art,
    based on sharing, exchange and joyful giving. What counts in art
    is also and mostly what is not counted.

    - When to use the Free Art License ?

    It is not the goal of the Free Art License to eliminate copyright
    or author's rights. Quite the opposite, it is about reformulating
    the relevance of these rights while taking today's environment
    into account. It is about the right to freedom of movement, to
    free copying and to free transformation of works of art. The right
    to work in freedom for art and artists.

    1 / Each time you want to use or put this right into practice, use
    the Free Art License.

    2 / Each time you want to create works which can evolve and be
    freely copied, freely distributed and freely transformed: use the
    Free Art License.

    3 / Each time you want to have the possibility of copying,
    distributing or transforming a work: check that it is under Free
    Art License. If it is not, you are liable to be breaking the law.

    - To which types of art can the Free Art License be applied?

    This license can be applied to digital as well as to non-digital
    art. It was born out of observation of the world of free software
    and the Internet, but its applicability is not limited to the
    digital media. You can put a painting, a novel, a sculpture, a
    drawing, a piece of music, a poem, an installation, a video, a
    film, a recipe, a CD-rom, a Web site, or a performance under the
    Free Art License, in short any creation which has some claim to be
    a work of art.

    This license has a history: it was born at the meeting " Copyleft
    Attitude " which took place at "Accès Local" and "Public" in
    Paris at the beginning of the year 2000. For the first time, it
    brought computer specialists and freeware activists together with
    contemporary artists and members of the art world.
