==Adoption of Creative Commons licensing==
The EFF now encourages artists to use the [[Creative Commons]] Attribution-ShareAlike license instead of the Open Audio License, and it "designates the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license as version 2.0 of the Open Audio License."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.eff.org/IP/Open_licenses/eff_oal.html |title=EFF Open Audio License: Version 2.0 |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |date=June 2004 |publisher=[[Electronic Frontier Foundation]] |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20040602195332/http://www.eff.org/IP/Open_licenses/eff_oal.html |archivedate=2 June 2004 |accessdate=12 July 2013}}</ref>
The Creative Commons licenses express the same principles as the original Open Audio License—a recognition that some creators want to make their works available to the public on less restrictive terms than copyright's defaults, with permission to copy, distribute, adapt, and publicly perform their works.
