Hi Jon
I totally agree with you!
The Web2Rights position, reflected
in our template t's and c's, (which are written for UGC contributions!)
is to ensure that the UGC contributor retains their copyright in their
UGC, but grants the website host and global users a non-exclusive
licence to use (and reuse depending upon the CC licence selected) which
is the same as the CC licence selected by the website host for the use
(and possible reuse) of their own content. This squares the route of
UGC really nicely in ensuring that UGC is treated in the same way as a
website host's own content.
Conveniently, the Web2Rights template t's
and c's are released under a CC BY NC Licence! http://www.web2rights.org.uk/navigator/content/documents/3.1%20Terms%20Conditions.pdf
For a template which is geared towards cultural heritage
organisations - check out the SCA IPR and Licensing Toolkit http://sca.jiscinvolve.org/wp/ipr-publications/
BTW - the Strategic Content Alliance launched last week a brand new
portable, customisable and reuse IPR and Licensing Learning Module too: http://sca.jiscinvolve.org/wp/
I hope that helps
Best
Naomi
