CcNutch

Creative Commons plugin for the open source Nutch search engine. Module ccnutch in the cctools sourceforge repository.

There was a running instance at http://search.creativecommons.org. Commercial search engines support CC well enough now that it was turned off. http://search.creativecommons.org now offers a selection of these. Nutch may be revived if we want to explore search features that do not yet have commercial interest.
