[Migrantjusticedocumentary] Fwd: CUTV sponsorship policy

[Danielle Holyk]

I'm confused what they mean by licensing? can or final project still be
'creative commons' and ours... or do they 'own' it?
I am fine with them showing it and having 'a release party' there... not
'the launch party' (but they don't need to know).
i'm a little confused. what do you think we should do for saturday and
sunday Otto?
thanks so much for this
