Prompt 13: CUTE - examples

The CUTE, “Conditions d'utilisations typographiques engageantes” (engaging typographic conditions for use) were developed between 2022 and 2024 by Bye Bye Binary. The Franco-Belgian collective is invested in proliferating a specific post-binary typographic practice. The CUTE stipulates under which conditions the fonts can be used and modified. CUTE sparked two prompts (see Prompt 01 and Prompt 02). Bye Bye Binary sent a third one.

During the process of writing CUTE, Bye Bye Binary did several reading sessions of the CC4r. They were inspired by its paradigmatic shift on free licenses and its intersectional perspective. But some members found the language sometimes opaque, and believe that more people could learn from and use the CC4r if its wording was more accessible. How could the language of CC4r become more accessible and instructive without giving up on complexity? In the CUTE we decided to include examples to help with that. Could this work for CC4r too?
