CC+ is NOT a license.
Help me spread the word. CC+ is NOT a license. It is a protocol. On the CC+ website, there is further clarification of this.
Ok, let me try that again:
CC+ is NOT a license.
Spread the news!
Here is a nice way to visualize what CC+ is built to enable.
+ 
CC+ is CC license + Another agreement.
It is NOT a new license, but a facilitation of morePermissions beyond ANY standard CC licenses.
If you want to adopt CC+, please (1) implement CC+ simple technology on your site, (2) add your project/company name, and (3) let us know!
The main idea behind it is to allow for commercial rights to be brokered for monetization of content. While the branding behind CC+ has worked brilliantly in spreading the term, a basic misunderstanding or word seriously skews the understanding of CC+.
I like it! “CC is the plus sign between two licenses.”

Yes, and one fopah is that the plus sign ( ) doesn’t make it through many blogs and url convertors

Jon, that’s sort of bad news! Because things are already complicated with six different licenses (but at least people have in mind this meme: “CC is about free licensing of works”) – now they’ll need to understand that there’s also a protocol. And I think lots of people don’t really know what a protocol is.

I challenge you to fix the branding of this then and/or how it is explained.

That’s a cool idea. How can I get this cc license?
