Metamorphosis Signs Memorandum of Understanding with CC

Dejan Georgievski

28 April 2006

The Metamorphosis Foundation for Sustainable ICT Solutions signed, on April 26, 2006, a Memorandum of Understanding with Creative Commons Corporation, for legal porting of CC licenses in Macedonia.

With the Memorandum, Metamorphosis takes over the obligation to prepare translations of the CC licenses in Macedonian language, to make them available online, under the auspices of the I-Commons project.

Metamorphosis already started the activities towards establishment of a working group that will work on translation and legalization of Creative Commons licenses in Macedonia. In addition, they have started the negotiations with several cultural NGOs in the country, in terms of establishing a core team of authors that would share their works under CC.

Metamorphosis expects, having in mind that the Law on Copyright and Associated Rights presents no obstacles or restrictions to introduction of CC licenses, the whole work should be completed by the end of 2006.
