http://creativecommons.org/ - Interesting material. It offers several ways to distribute intellectual property under 'some rights reserved'. E.G. as a musician you can grant permission to share your music on the internet, without permitting commercial re-distribution of your music without asking any further permission. Perhaps this kind of licensing is interesting to any of you who are creating (MSX) software, websites, magazines etc.

On the website a simple tool helps you to choose the right license that fits your needs and offers you a readable, a lawyer-readable (hehe) and a machine-readable (HTML) version of the license.
