Evidence this is released under Creative Commons?

[edit]

This article is in the category of 'creative commons documentaries'; but is there a reliable citation that this was released under a Creative Commons license? If not, it should be removed from the category. The closest I could find is <https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/26788492/aaron-swartz-documentary-the-internets-own-boy-0/posts?lang=es&page=2> Where he says "Keeping with the goals of our Kickstarter campaign, the film will have a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License." So he claimed to *intend to* release it under that license. But I can't find a statement after the film is finished where he actually states he's releasing it under the license. I don't think this is nitpicking; it's possible that at that some point he read through one his many legal contracts with his partners and realized he's not allowed to release it under CC after all, and then quietly decided to drop the issue. So does anyone have a source? Rolf H Nelson (talk) 04:18, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

See this comment on hacker news where the user who uploaded a copy to the Internet Archive says it was available for purchase under the license. One of the producers also comments below that and doesn't challenge the statement. BoingBoing, the EFF, and The Daily Dot also confirm it. Opencooper (talk) 04:38, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The EFF link passes WP:RS. Thanks! Rolf H Nelson (talk) 04:42, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
