Launch of RegisteredCommons

RegisteredCommons is a new organization launched on September 19 at the Wizards of OS 4 conference in Berlin.  The best short description is that it's an Austrian-based cousin to Creative Commons.  Like CC, RC offers licenses for creators who want to share their creations.  Unlike CC, RC offers both some-rights-reserved licenses and traditional all-rights-reserved licenses.  In the same spirit it also offers expiring licenses for those who want to share their content only for a limited time.  Finally, it allows authors to register their authorship, without creating a license, in order to facilitate subsequent proof.  For more information, see the press release from the launch or the FAQ, which uses a CC (not RC) license.
