 # Public Drafting Process for the DMCA Cooperation Pledge
 This pledge was
 [originally proposed by bkuhn](https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2020/nov/13/widevine-dmca-takedown/)
 in light of increased DMCA takedowns against FOSS projects (and relatedly,
 increased enforcement of USC§1201) in October and November 2020.  The goal is
 to draft a pledge that for-profit copyright holders can take wherein they
 agree to wait 30 days to issue DMCA takedowns against legitimate FOSS
 projects (ala GPLv3&sect;8&para;3).  Simply put, proprietary copyright
 holders should be equally reasonable as GPL copyright holders are and give
 FOSS projects 30 days to negotiate and discuss copyright infringement
 allegations before getting an de-facto injunction with the DMCA.
 The license of all documents in this repository is [CC0v1.0](CC0-1.0.txt).
