Sorry Don, I got it wrong. I fixed my blog on this http://www.itskeptic.org/node/1556 but forgot to correct the comment above. MOF is indeed released under Creative Commons - it is just hard to tell :)

instead of every webpage that talks about MOF having the standard copyright on them it would be helpful if they had the creative commons logo. likewise the root document, 1.0 MOF Overview, is only Attrib-NonCommercial and only in very fine print after the copyright with no CC logo, with nothing to say that the subsequent docs are the more useful CC-Atrib.

So yes MOF is CC but if you didn't know you'd be hard pressed to find out. The old Hitchhiker's Guide thing of a locked cabinet in the basement

Cheers

There's no catch here, sorry if it seems confusing.

Microsoft does hold the copyright, but the license allows anyone to reuse the material, adapting and adopting as desired. The only license stipulation is to provide attribution.

The Creative Commons page really does tell it all: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/us/.

Are you planning to ever, like, act on this fine announcement? I can't find it on any MOF webpage, all the webpages still have (c), and downloading MOF 4.0 in July 2009 it still has copyright and no mention of CC. What gives? I feel a blog post coming on...
