Use-Code System

The Use-Code system was established to quickly and easily display what permissions a work registered to the C.O.O.B. has. It has a similar function to that of Creative Commons system, where owners decide which permissions to grant future users of the file.

It consists of one number and two letters to indicate different combinations of permissions granted by an author of a work. The number is first, indicating who can use the work. The first letter indicates modification permissions, and the final letter indicates whether the author wants credit to be given.

For example, the code "2BX" would indicate: The document is public, cannot be used by corporations or the government of other nations, and can be freely modified. Credit MUST be given to the creator of the document.
