<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite our best efforts, occasionally there are issues and/or errors in the published legal code for CC legal tools. CC is committed to maintaining static, canonical versions of its legal tools, so </span><a href="https://creativecommons.org/legal-code-defined"><span style="font-weight: 400;">we do not make changes to the legal code after it is published</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Therefore, when issues or errors are identified, they are documented on this page. Future versions of the legal tools are adjusted to remedy these. </span></p> <p><strong>Pre-4.0 versions of the licenses: </strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">Creative Commons does not amend legal code once published in pre-4.0 versions of the CC license suite, including ports and their official translations. Errata in those versions are documented on this page. </span></p> <p><strong>Version 4.0 license suite, CC0 1.0, and the PDM 1.0 in English:</strong> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Creative Commons does not amend the legal code once published in the original English of the 4.0 licenses and CC0, or the text of the PDM 1.0. Issues and errata are documented on this page.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Official translations of the 4.0 licenses, CC0 1.0, and PDM 1.0:</strong> Official translations of these legal tools are intended as legal equivalents of the original English. Identified errors in these official translations may be corrected. All errors and any corrections made will be fully documented on this page. (Note that errors have not been corrected in the legal code unless this page specifies that a correction has been made.) </span></p> <hr /> <h2>Issues by legal tool</h2> <h2>CC0 1.0</h2> <p><b>Non-inclusive pronouns. </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">The two instances of “he or she” and the two instances of “his or her” should have been written using gender-neutral pronouns (“they” and “their”). This will be changed when we next version CC0, and will be encouraged in official translations, when possible.</span></p> <p><strong>Description. </strong>The Deed page of CC0 1.0 refers to using “the license”; CC0 should be described as a legal tool. (This is not part of the legal code but will not be corrected until the new website is launched.)</p> <h2><strong>Public Domain Mark 1.0</strong></h2> <p><strong>Description. </strong>The Deed page of PDM 1.0 refers to using “the license”; PDM should be described as a legal tool. (This is not part of the legal code but will not be corrected until the new website is launched.)</p> <hr /> <h2>Errors by legal tool</h2> <h2><span style="font-size: 28px; font-weight: 900;">4.0 international license suite (English)</span></h2> <div id="toc" class="toc"> <h5><span id="Validated_HTML" class="mw-headline">Validated HTML</span></h5> <p>As originally published, the HTML for the license files did not validate.
