Creative Commons becomes more common
March 24, 2008 – 5:38 am by Mur LaffertyOne of the biggest problems with Creative Commons is simply that enough people don’t know about it. And heck, that’s not CC’s fault, not entirely. I try to do my part to let people know about it, and even though it’s beautifully written and easy to understand, some people still have problems wrapping their brain around it.
Thus I was thrilled this morning to discover the Creative Commons Documentation Project, a new project designed to explain the facets of CC licensing.
Alex Roberts, Senior Designer at Creative Commons, explained the benefits of the documentation initiative. “We’re always trying to make Creative Commons licenses easier to understand and use. From the beginning, CC has championed human-readable copyright licenses. Our documentation project works to extend this practice by offering short guides and explanations to a variety of CC topics.” All of the documentation is released under a Creative Commons Attribution license for redistribution, reuse and remix.
