    Under the Creative Commons licenses 3.0 would the following be allowed...

    To make a modification to the script and sell it, given it would be sold under the following way...

    1. The script is attributed in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work).

    2. It is made clear to others the license terms of this work.

    There is nothing in the licence that says the work can't be sold.

    Here's the link... thought's?

    Here you can chose tha different license options.
    http://creativecommons.org/licenses/
    Read about the Non-commercial attributes. They include that a party can not collect money from your work.


    Can I still make money from a work I make available under a Creative Commons licenses?
    ...
    Secondly, the noncommercial license option is an inventive tool designed to allow people to maximize the distribution of their works while keeping control of the commercial aspects of their copyright. To make one thing clear that is sometimes misunderstood: the "noncommercial use" condition applies only to others who use your work, not to you (the licensor). So if you choose to license your work under a Creative Commons license that includes the “noncommercial use” option, you impose the ”noncommercial” condition on the users (licensees). However, you, the creator of the work and/or licensor, may at any time decide to use it commercially. People who want to copy or adapt your work, "primarily for monetary compensation or financial gain" must get your separate permission first.

    Thanks but I'm asking from a users point of view not an author's.

    Does CC 3.0 allow me, to sell commercially, an author's modified work (yet of course still have the original work freely available)?

    According to what I've read, as long as it is attributed, it doesn't not allow it. (did you get the double negative there?)

    As long as noncommercial and no derivatives are not part of the license, it should be ok. The noncommercial addon is to stop people from selling, and no derivatives prevents redistribution of modified copies.

    Attribution, if included, still means you must leave the requested type of credit.

    perth: If the original author specified CC 3.0 Attribution, that means that you are free to use the work in this way. If they just said CC 3.0, you should ask them for clarification.

    If it has the Non-commercial attribution you can not profit from it.

    "People who want to copy or adapt your work, "primarily for monetary compensation or financial gain" must get your separate permission first."
