RE: Introducing The Hive People Project

We are Creative Commons so our work can be freely used, remixed and shared.

You are not "Creative Commons" as that is "an American non-profit organization" that "has released several copyright-licenses, known as Creative Commons licenses, free of charge to the public."

Instead, are you saying that you'd like your content to be posted under a Creative Commons License? If so you should specify which Creative Commons License as there are many. You should also add a licensing statement to whatever content you want to openly license.

For example, on some of my posts like this one, I write:

This post is released under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. When reusing this post, please attribute by linking to one of its locations on a Steem Blockchain browser

I don't see a LICENSE.md on your GitHub repo or at https://hiveonboard.com/. So I am not sure what you mean by "We are Creative Commons"? Can you elaborate?

Thanks for mentioning this, and I have added the CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0)
Public Domain Dedication https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ to most of our work. There is one exception and that is the infographic which has the Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

I don't see a LICENSE.md on your GitHub repo or at https://hiveonboard.com/.

Let me remind you, that I am not an official part of the hiveonboard.com team. I worked with @roomservice the dev who created hiveonboard.com in a freelance style way, but hiveonboard.com is his project, run by him. I merely assisted him on a voluntary basis, and said that he liked what I created, then he was free to tip me as he saw fit.

This concerns the Hive People project that is run by me and we will work in a synergistically way with any Hive project, dApp or community. Currently, Hive People doesn't have a GitHub, but it could in the future. It depends a lot on where this project goes.

Concerning the creation of a website for Hive People: as of right now, I am not interested in creating or running a website, as I have done that many times in the past. However, I am open to working with others who are passionate about building a site. Thanks for pointing that, appreciated.

Thanks for updating the post to more clearly link to what aspects are released under what licensing. As open licensing is a legal matter, unless it is marked clearly and unambiguously, it has little effect.

Certainly understand that it is a confusing topic and takes some experience to execute properly.

i ran a creative commons artist collective in 2017 on Steemit, so i am very familiar with CC licenses. I just didn't include all the details when i first wrote the post, so thanks for reminding me.
