Creative Commons jurisdiction ports

Creative Commons (abbreviated "CC"), since 2011, has created many "ports", or adaptions, of its licenses to make them compatible with the copyright legislation of various countries worldwide.

To address this issue, Creative Commons ported[3] the various licenses to bring them into line with local copyright and private law.

The porting process involves both translating the licenses into the appropriate languages and legally adapting them to the particular jurisdictions.

[7] Creative Commons uses country teams inside particular countries to facilitate consultations and discussion with members of the public and key stakeholders in an effort to adapt the licenses to local circumstances, i.e. their jurisdiction.

Country teams may be supported by other organizations: for example, CC Ireland is a collaboration between Creative Commons and University College Cork.
