}}
== Overview ==
Cory Doctorow is a Science Fiction author with a vast amount of work under his name. Cory, as a very early adopter of Creative Commons, has been producing Creative Commons licensed works since 2003 with the publication of the first CC licensed novel Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom. Along with writing SciFi, Cory is one of the editors of Boing Boing, an award wining blog covering a wide range of topics from technological gadgets, to steampunk tricycles, to current information policy debates.

== License Usage ==
Cory Doctorow's literary works are released under Creative Commons Atrribution NonCommercial ShareAlike or Attribution NonCommercial NoDerivatives. His latest work, Little Brother, has spent 4 weeks on the NYTimes bestseller list and is released as BY-NC-SA.

== Motivations ==
As a very early adopter and promoter of Creative Commons licenses, Cory Doctorow's reasoning for using them for his works is well known in certain circles. For instance, in an interview with Greg Grossmeier, community development intern at Creative Commons, Cory gave his reasoning as it relates to the type of writing he does:
“Not only does making my books available for free increase the number of sales that I get, but I also came to understand it artistically as a Science Fiction writer that if I was making work that wasn't intended to be copied, then I was really making contemporary work.”

From that same interview Cory describes how he sees the relationship between the increasing role and power of copyright and the people who use those works:
“As the copyright wars deepened, I really started to understand the cost of imposing a 20th century exclusive rights style copyright on individual users of works in the 21st century would lead to a dramatic decrease in freedoms that are really important like free speech, free expression, even free of assembly and freedom of the press. All of these things would come under fire as a result of the copyright wars.”

Cory's support of the CC licenses also stems from his dislike of overly restrictive forms of protection on creative works. As expressed on his personal website's bio page, written in 2006, “I believe that we live in an era where anything that can be expressed as bits will be. I believe that bits exist to be copied. Therefore, I believe that any business-model that depends on your bits not being copied is just dumb, and that lawmakers who try to prop these up are like governments that sink fortunes into protecting people who insist on living on the sides of active volcanoes.”

4.0

2012-05-23T11:19:51Z

CC is embarking on a versioning process for its core license suite, which we expect will result in version 4.0. The first public discussions of 4.0 were held at CC's [[Global Summit 2011]]. The public process was kicked off with a [http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/29639?utm_campaign=newsletter_1111&utm_medium=blog&utm_source=newsletter blog post] laying out some of the key reasons for pursuing 4.0 at this time.

Since CC's launch in 2002, it has versioned its core license suite [[license versions|three times]], the last ([[Version 3|3.0]]) in early 2007. CC licenses constitute a [http://creativecommons.org/who-uses-cc globally-recognized framework], developed in consultation with legal experts and CC affiliate institutions in [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/CC_Affiliate_Network over 70 jurisdictions]. Over 500 million CC-licensed works have been published by their authors on the Internet. Today, Creative Commons licenses, public domain tools, and supporting technologies are the global standard for sharing across culture, education, government, science, and more.

Version 4.0 is a tremendous opportunity to ensure the license suite is ideally crafted to further CC's [http://creativecommons.org/about vision and mission] over the next decades. Please participate in this important discussion.

=== Goals and objectives ===

Creative Commons staff, board and community have to date identified several goals for the next version of its core license suite tied to achieving CC's goal and mission. These include:

:: ''Internationalization'' – further adapt the core suite of international licenses to operate globally, ensuring they are robust, enforceable and easily adopted worldwide;

:: ''Interoperability'' – maximize interoperability between CC licenses and other licenses to reduce friction within the commons, promote standards and stem license proliferation;

:: ''Long-lasting'' — anticipate new and changing adoption opportunities and legal challenges, allowing the new suite of licenses to endure for the foreseeable future;

:: ''Data/PSI/Science/Education'' — recognize and address impediments to adoption of CC by governments as well as other important, publicly-minded institutions in these and other critical arenas; and

:: ''Supporting Existing Adoption Models and Frameworks'' – remain mindful of and accommodate the needs of our existing community of adopters leveraging pre-4.0 licenses, including governments but also other important constituencies.

=== Organization and purpose of this wiki ===

This wiki is the central location for documenting key discussion topics and suggestions for improving the license suite in version 4.0, together with supporting information and relevant links. It is intended to supplement, not replace, the CC license discuss email list [http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-licenses (subscribe)] that will serve as the main discussion forum for the versioning process just as it has with prior versioning efforts.

CC has pre-populated the wiki with key topics identified to date. We ask contributors to be thoughtful about placement of additional and related topics, and the creation of new pages altogether. Before starting a new page, consider posting the suggestion to the [[4.0/Sandbox|Sandbox]] and [http://tinyurl.com/7ok6td3 car insurance comparison]. We would also prefer [http://www.oro-compro.com compro oro] that contributors use their real names when editing the wiki.

=== Process ===

As a license steward and steward of the commons, our goal for the process is to ensure utmost transparency and inclusiveness. The 4.0 process will be conducted in line with our prior versioning efforts, with periodic publication of license drafts for public comment and documentation of issue resolution as that occurs. One important difference from our past efforts, however, is a formal requirements gathering period that will run for a period of time prior to publication of the first draft. During this period, we strongly encourage the broadest participation possible by everyone with an interest in the commons and the role open licensing plays in its future.

The primary discussion forum for issues relating to the 4.0 versioning process will be the CC license discuss email list. Please [http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-licenses subscribe] and add your voice to this important effort.

=== Draft timeline ===
The dates noted below are approximate and subject to change. The number of drafts and public comment periods may vary depending on the number and type of issues raised and how they are resolved, among other things. Watch this page for updates, including major events such as affiliate regional meetings where 4.0 discussions will take place.

=== Items for discussion ===

Various aspects of the license suite ''potentially'' could be improved in the version 4.0 licenses. We will gather and rigorously debate and analyze these items and corresponding proposals for handling them in version 4.0. We encourage the broadest possible engagement in this process. This is a particularly important goal during the requirements gathering stage when everyone is strongly encouraged (and our affiliates are expected) to provide feedback on proposed changes and suggest other changes they would like to see. Add, improve, and discuss specific items in the [http://www.lblognetwork.com pages] linked below.
'''If you do not find a suitable existing page and category for an item you would like to propose or discuss, please add it to the [[4.0/Sandbox]] where suggestions for new pages will be aggregated.'''

Finally, we encourage contributors to take the time to review [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/License_Versions prior versioning efforts], including relevant discussions of important topics previously debated by the CC community and discussions related to their resolution. Being aware of and taking those into account will be important to an effective and efficient process[http://www.anggarakasa.com,] particularly if a request is made to revisit and potentially change direction in 4.0.

Case Studies/Revver Study

2012-05-23T11:11:23Z

Angkuh: /* Motivations */

{{Case Study
|importance=High
|quality=A-Class
|Description=Revver self-describes as being ‘a powerful platform and suite of tools for serving and sharing media’ whilst forming a community of video lovers and artists who share in the site’s profits through its advertising structure.
|Quote=Revver is an online media network built the way the internet really works. We support the free and unlimited sharing of media. Our unique technology pairs videos with targeted ads and tracks them as they spread across the web. So no matter where your video travels, you benefit because we share the advertising revenue with you.

}}
== Overview ==
[http://www.revver.com/ Revver] is a video-sharing platform deploying an innovative business model with hyperdistribution as its core. Differentiating itself from competitor YouTube by offering per-view revenue, the platform takes advantage of peer-to-peer distribution mechanisms for sharing its hosted videos. When a user uploads a video to Revver, customised software inserts a brief, unobtrusive advertisement at the end of the video stream. At this point, the ‘Revverised’ video can be downloaded and distributed via any method – website, email, P2P, without losing the advertisement. Revver software reports back to the main website every time the embedded ad is clicked irrespective of location, prompting the advertiser to be charged a micropayment. The platform shares the associated revenue with the owner of the video on a 50/50 basis. Revver’s users are able to track their video’s performance, monitoring how many times the video has been viewed, and the amount of revenue accruing. Sharers are able to earn 20% of ad revenue for forwarding the videos. Revver is therefore founded on the ‘free and unlimited sharing of content online in an environment where the creator is rewarded for his/her work.’

== License Usage ==
:‘Copyright is complicated stuff. Our position on it is pretty simple.’ http://www.revver.com/go/copyright/

Revver’s business model is particularly noteworthy as it aims to take the wide-spread sharing of copyright material that occurs online and turn it into an asset, rather than a reason for litigation. The site uses Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-NoDerivatives licences to permit users to distribute their content (with embedded advertising) verbatim for non-commercial purposes. The only additional requirement is that the creator of the video is attributed alongside Revver as host. This revenue-raising strategy not only permits widespread distribution; it relies on it – the more people who see the video, the more money both the site and the creator earn.

Adherence to copyright law is an important issue for Revver. All uploaded videos are reviewed by a human before being made available online. Reviewers look for copyright violations, fraudulent tagging, and any inappropriate content which would violate the site’s [http://www.revver.com/go/tou/ member agreement], such as content deemed obscene or hateful. If the site’s reviewers detect possible copyright violations, the uploader is emailed, and asked to document their ownership of the item in question, be it the video footage, background music or other content. Revver’s [http://www.revver.com/go/copyright/ copyright statement] declares:

:‘At Revver, we staunchly support copyright laws. Our mission and business is firmly rooted in the idea that artists deserve to control and be rewarded from their intellectual property. We also believe strongly in the protections provided by the doctrine of Fair Use, which is part of US copyright law, and to comparable protections provided under the copyright laws in other jurisdictions. While it is impossible to draw a hard and fast line between what is Fair Use and what is not, we understand that we are living in a remix culture and we support an open media environment that allows creators to lawfully build on the work of earlier creators.’

== Motivations ==
Recognised as an early adopter of next-generation business models, Revver is underpinned by [http://revver.com/go/faq/ the belief] that ‘a free and open, democratized media environment is good for everyone. Our goal is to empower video makers and sharers to do what they do best.’

Support for the balance in copyright law, and alternative options including Creative Commons is further evidenced in Revver’s support for open source communities. Revver acknowledges that they have built their products with a number of [http://www.revver.com/go/faq/#api1 open source software projects] including Python, Twisted, mySQL, PostgreSQL, Xen, Java, [http://www.anggarakasa.com PHP], Apache, Lighttpd, and Django. In return, Revver has made the ‘ActiveRevver‘ and ‘Sparkline’ pieces of software available for usage, modification, and distribution under the MIT licence. [http://developer.revver.com/ Revver’s Developer Centre] provides access to the Application Programming Interface (API), involving software developers in the enhancement of the platform.

Given the sharing environment established by Revver, Creative Commons used the [http://www.lblognetwork.com platform] during its initial [http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/6125 fall fundraising campaign] in 2006 with the video [http://support.creativecommons.org/videos#wwt ''Wanna Work Together''], which they encouraged supporters to embed in their sites.

== Overview ==
The [http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/ Powerhouse Museum, Sydney (PHM)] is one of Australia’s premier cultural institutions, housing collections which express the nation’s innovation and creativity in science, technology, and the arts. With 22 permanent exhibitions, as well as 250 interactive displays, over 388,000 historically-significant objects are curated by museum staff across an area of 20,000 square metres, the equivalent of three international competition soccer fields. PHM was opened to the public on 10 March 1988, with the [http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/about/aboutMuseum.asp vision] that ‘celebrates human creativity and innovation in ways that engage, inform and inspire diverse audiences.’

PHM’s history and exhibitions are captured in the Museum’s [http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/imageservices/ ‘Photo of the Day’], a blog which features photographs pertaining to its vast collection. Shot by PHM’s professional photographers for a variety of purposes – documenting PHM’s public events, programs and exhibitions, to behind-the-scenes operations – the images form a rich archive of life in New South Wales and beyond, as well as detailing aspects and activities of the PHM hitherto unseen. A selection of these photographs is hosted on [http://www.flickr.com/photos/16870059@N04/ Flickr].

On 7 April 2008, PHM [http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/imageservices/?m=20080408 announced] its collaboration with Flickr to create [http://www.flickr.com/commons/ ‘The Commons’], becoming the first museum in the world to release publicly-held historical photographs for access on the photo-sharing platform. PHM selected its [http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/tyrrell/ Tyrrell Photographic Collection] for display, an extensive series of glass plate negatives taken by photographers Charles Kerry (1857-1928) and Henry King (1855-1923), showing Sydney life in the late 19th and early 20th century. The initial [http://www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/ Flickr collection] consists of 200 black and white Tyrrell images, which are now available for public tagging and comment. PHM’s curators continue to upload [http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/dmsblog/index.php/2008/04/16/50-new-images-on-the-commons-on-flickr/ 50 new images] every week from the collection’s 7903 images, and, where possible, add geotags to create an [http://www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/2376052141/map/?view=users interactive map] documenting the position of the photographic content.

New South Wales Minister for the Arts Frank Sartor said in response to the announcement:
:‘The Powerhouse Museum initiative shows that the NSW Government is a leader in increasing public access to Australian cultural collections. These evocative images of historic Sydney and early Australian life will greatly appeal to people from around the world, as well as Australians.’

[http://play.powerhousemuseum.com/ ‘Play at Powerhouse’] is PHM’s education program for children. It provides a resource designed for children aged up to 10 years, and involves parents and carers. ‘Play’ includes information about visiting the PHM with children, and offers activities and games around the topics of science and design to engage children at home. These can be downloaded and completed independently, but are clearly designed to enhance a visit to the Museum. The project is overseen by the Web Service Unit at the PHM, headed by Sebastian Chan.

== Statistics ==
PHM’s website received over 7.6 million unique hits in the 2006-7 financial year. This was in addition to seeing in excess of 621,000 visitors on site, and 426,000 through the travelling exhibitions. The Museum hosts over 385,000 objects in the fields of science, technology, industry, history, decorative arts, music, transport and space exploration. Icons and artefacts are displayed over 11 kilometres of gallery space as well as online.

According to Sebastian Chan’s blog post on [http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/dmsblog/index.php/2008/04/09/24-hours-later-powerhouse-on-the-commons-on-flickr/ fresh + new(er)], the reaction to PHM’s Flickr Commons initiative has been remarkable. In the day following PHM’s public announcement, the Tyrrell collection received ‘plenty of views (4777), and stacks of tags (175) - in such a short time.’ In the [http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/dmsblog/index.php/2008/04/16/50-new-images-on-the-commons-on-flickr/ first week] of the Tyrrell collection being hosted on Flickr, PHM received nearly 20,000 views and ‘an enormous amount of tagging and "favouriting" activity combined with many congratulatory messages and support for the Museum’s release of these images into the Commons.’
== License Usage ==
The rights and permissions pertaining to PHM’s content are clarified [http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/imageservices/?page_id=157 here], which specifies that materials housed at the Museum fall into three categories: full copyright, ‘no known copyright,’ and ‘Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-NoDerivatives.’

In relation to the application of the Creative Commons BY-NC-ND licence, the [http://www.lblognetwork.com site] explains:
:‘This licence is used on some parts of our website. Examples are our own photography in the Photo of the Day blog and also for children’s activities on our Play at Powerhouse website. This license means that you can republish this material for any non-commercial purpose as long as you give attribution back to the Powerhouse Museum as the creator and that you do not modify the work in any way. A more detailed explanation of the license is available from Creative Commons.’

In April 2007, Play’s downloadable materials were licensed using the [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 Licence]. According to web master Sebastian Chan, the intention in licensing under Creative Commons was to allow school children and teachers to use these resources in a multitude of ways whilst balancing PHM’s internal needs.

In late November 2007, selected [http://www.anggarakasa.com images] from ‘Photo of the Day’ were similarly licensed. The Museum’s photographers were involved to a large part in the discussions about licensing for this project, with all agreeing to the use of CC. Having Creative Commons licensing on certain images was felt potentially to encourage interest and sales of the All Rights Reserved photos, and to enable the collection to be seen and used to a greater degree.

In relation to images displayed on Flickr Commons, the ‘no known copyright’ category indicates that the Museum is unaware of any current Copyright restrictions on this work. ‘This can be because the term of Copyright for this work may have expired or that Copyright does not apply to this type of work.’

== Motivations ==
Creative Commons Australia has been excited to follow the progress of PHM’s initiatives, and has spoken to the respective members of PHM’s development and curatorial teams over this period. Sebastian Chan, head of PHM’s Web Service Unit, expressed the following opinion about Creative Commons licensing on 17 March 2008:
:‘Creative Commons provided the perfect licensing for the craft activities on our children’s website – http://play.powerhousemuseum.com. We wanted to ensure that children, parents and teachers could download, duplicate and reuse all the craft activities on the site whilst protecting the Museum’s authorship. Creative Commons also provides a means for us to encourage the use of these in schools without teachers needing to be fearful of paying CAL fees for their use.’

Paula Bray, Manager of the Powerhouse’s Image Services, agreed with this sentiment:
:‘It is great to be able to use the Creative Commons licensing tool so our audience can clearly see what the conditions of use are for Powerhouse Museum Photo of the Day images. This informative licensing model will hopefully educate people on the often complicated conditions surrounding copyright. We are using this licensing tool for our blog "Photo of the Day" to support non-commercial use of our images.’

In addition, Paula directed us towards Geoff Friend, PHM’s Photography Manager, who supports the move towards Creative Commons licences:
:‘Creative Commons offers a flexible addition to the standard copyright symbol we’ve been using for many years and the great thing is it allows photographers and other creators to choose different licensing options. It’s great to see our images displayed, acknowledged, accessed and appreciated by so many passionate enthusiasts that we can engage with on our favourite subject, and hopefully so others can learn from our images.’

== Overview ==

Ton Roosendaal is the lead developer of the Open Source 3D animation program [http://www.blender.org/ Blender]. Blender is a highly popular platform to produce 3D renderings and is used by The History Channel and also for storyboarding the Spider-man 2 movie. Along with being the lead developer Ton is also the Chairman of the [http://www.blender.org/blenderorg/blender-foundation/ Blender Foundation], the non-profit that founds development and animation projects in the [http://www.blender.org/community/user-community/ Blender Community]. The Foundation is funded by donations and the sales of 3D rendering training materials from its online store. These founds allow the foundation to support Ton Roosendaal and a small staff to work on Blender development full-time, production of short films which both spur development and showcase the capabilities of Blender, and put on the Blender Conference.

Ton was the original lead developer of Blender when he founded the animation studio NeoGeo in 1988. After 7 years of development it was decided that to continue improving the product it was required to perform a complete rewrite of the software. Thus, in 1995, the development for what is now known as Blender began. Ton started a spin-off of NeoGeo in 1998 called Not a Number (NaN) which had its goal to develop and distribute a powerful 3D tool for free. The business model hinged on providing commercial products and services for Blender. However, after disappointing sales results of the Blender Publisher product in 2001 the then current investors decided to shutdown the company and thus development of Blender.

The Blender community, however, did not want to see such a powerful tool disappear. Ton started the Blender Foundation which negotiated with the investors to allow the releasing of the Blender source code under the GNU General Public License if they were paid a sum of 100,000 EUR. The foundation raised that amount from the support of the community and the Free Blender campaign. On Sunday October 13, 2002 the Blender source code was released to the public.

The Blender Foundation has since then supported the development of the software and also the production of creative projects to showcase both the Blender software and the skilled creators in the community. In 2005 the Foundation started Project Orange to produce the Open Movie “Elephants Dream” which was greeted to wide praise. The entire project of “Elephants Dream” was released under a Creative Commons Attribution license on March 24, 2006. This included all 7 gigabytes of data which was used to create the final movie. Following the success of Project Orange the Blender Foundation began Project Peach in October of 2007 to create a “funny and furry” movie. Big Buck Bunny was released on April 10, 2008 to, again, wide acclaim. An Open Game based on the Big Buck Bunny movie was started as Project Apricot in February of 2008.

== License Usage ==

The entire production files of both Project Orange (Elephants Dream) and Project Peach (Big Buck Bunny) are released under the Creative Commons Attribution License.

== Motivations ==

When asked about the relationship between the Open Source community of Blender development and the creators using it for the such projects as Project Orange and Project Peach Ton writes, “The relation is especially important when projects are involved for documentation or support, or Open Movie projects like we do for improving Blender. The fact people can share content to learn from or to build on, is a typical community-based 'shared self-interest' thing.”

However, the use of the Creative Commons license was not clear decision back in 2005 when Project Orange was began. Ton and others in the community realized how important of a license it will become in the future for creative works. However, reservations still surfaced:
“Just the week before the release we were a bit nervous going for CC-by only... for artists it's not easy to let your baby go and have other people mess with it, completely unlimited! In the end, looking back, it's has proven to be only cool. Hardly no abuse happened, and the freedom only inspired very interesting use.”

All material for Project Orange and Project Peach were released under the Creative Commons Attribution license and this decision was made with the Golden Rule in mind as Ton states, “Since we got sponsored by our community, we should give them back the project results in a way we would have liked to receive it ourselves... meaning, freedom to re-use, also for commercial work.”

After experiencing first had what it is like to develop and release a project under a permissive Creative Commons license Ton has one piece of advice for those choosing a license for their work: “Just go for it, don't be afraid of sharing. The incidental (and inevitable) abuses will never outweigh the benefits.”

== Overview ==

Launched in 2004 and later acquired by Yahoo, Flickr is an image and video hosting website that allows users to post, share, and comment on each other's content. These photos are organized by user-submitted tags, which generate emergent folksonomies of thematically linked photos. Users can also create photo pools, which allow others to submit images into publicly available repositories. Notably, the site also allows for Creative Commons licensing support in its service, allowing creators to share certain rights for usage of their photos with others. As of late 2009, the site hosts over [http://blog.flickr.net/en/2009/10/12/4000000000/ four billion images].

[http://www.flickr.com/help/forum/en-us/97258/ According to a Flickr staff member] in mid-2009, the site had acquired 32+ million registered users. Data on how this user base is distributed worldwide remains unclear. However, Flickr has been notably used by activists to compile and publicize events. Clay Shirky's <em>[http://www.herecomeseverybody.org/ Here Comes Everybody]</em> details the role played by Flickr in circulating photos of political protests in Belarus (p. 167). Similarly, Flickr users [http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/02/04/flickrs-version-of-a-mass-protest/ organized onsite protests] against Microsoft's attempted buyout of Yahoo in 2008.

== License Usage ==

Users can choose to release their work under any of the available Creative Commons licenses. As of [http://blog.flickr.net/en/2011/10/05/200-million-creative-commons-photos-and-counting/ October 2011], Flickr hosted over 200 million CC licensed images. In March 2010, Creative Commons [http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/20870 summarized] the growth of CC licensed photos on Flickr over the years.
<br/>
<br/>Flickr has also published its [http://code.flickr.com/blog/2009/05/21/flickr-shapefiles-public-dataset-10/ shapefile dataset] online, waiving all copyright restrictions via the CC0 public domain dedication. A shapefile is a file containing shapes mathematically generated by thousands of Flickr geotagged photos of particular neighborhoods, countries, and continents. Shapefile data has been used to reverse-engineer maps with user generated longitude and latitude coordinates that are then demarcated by Where-On-Earth IDs, "[http://code.flickr.com/blog/2008/10/30/the-shape-of-alpha/ unique numeric identifiers that correspond to the hierarchy of places where a photo was taken: the neighbourhood, the town, the county, and so on up to the continent]."

== Motivations ==

Jon Phillips, who worked closely with Flickr on CC integration, commented that open licensing was useful in "providing an interface with the rest of the world and the blogosphere without having to ask permission. It provided, in short, a clear path to usage."
<br/>
<br/>When Flickr first integrated CC licensing, they [http://blog.flickr.net/en/2004/06/29/creative-commons/ wrote] that "As individuals and as a company we wholeheartedly support and endorse the Creative Commons’ mission and hope to help contribute to the preservation and enhancement of creative freedom and personal expression."
<br/>
<br/>On releasing its shapefile dataset via the CC0 public domain dedication, Flickr [http://code.flickr.com/blog/2009/05/21/flickr-shapefiles-public-dataset-10/ gives the following reasons]:
<blockquote><ul><li>We want people (developers, researchers and anyone else who wants to play) to find new and interesting ways to use the shapefiles and we recognize that, in many cases, this means having access to the entire dataset.</li>
<li>We want people to feel both comfortable and confident using this data in their projects and so we opted for a public domain license so no one would have to spend their time wondering about the issue of licensing. We also think the work that the Creative Commons crew is doing is valuable and important and so we chose to release the shapefiles under the CC0 public domain dedication as a show of support.</li>
<li>We want people to create their own shapefiles and to share them so that other people (including us!) can find interesting ways to use them. We’re pretty sure there’s something to this “shapefile stuff” even if we can’t always put our finger on it so if publishing the dataset will encourage others to do the same then we’re happy to do so.</li></ul></blockquote>

== Technical Details ==

Flickr has implemented 1) a license chooser, 2) the license mark on pages for CC licensed objects, 3) [[CC REL]] metadata, and 4) searching for CC licensed videos.

=== License chooser ===
There are many ways to CC license your content in Flickr. The three main ways are 1) setting a default license for your account to apply the license to all new uploads, 2) batch-licensing all your previous uploads, or 3) selectively licensing some of your photos.

====Setting a default license====
To set a default CC license for your content, follow these directions:

'''1. Go to ''Your account'' and click on the ''Privacy and Permissions'' tab.

[[Image:flickr1.png|border|link=]]

'''2. Scroll down to the ''Defaults for new uploads'' section and look for the following line (you may not already have a default license, but the example below does):'''

[[Image:flickr2.png|border|link=]]

'''3. Click ''Edit'' and you will be taken to a license chooser to select a new default license for new uploads.'''

[[Image:flickr3.png|border|link=]]

====Batch licensing====

After you've set a default license, you might have photos that were uploaded before you set a default license. You can change the licensing status of those images in multiple ways.

'''On the same page you used to set a default license, there is a link to a page where you also have the option to ''Batch edit'' the license for all of your previous uploads. So here you can, for example, CC license all of your previously uploaded photos before you had set a default license.'''

[[Image:flickr4.png|border|link=]]

'''Otherwise, you can select individual sets of photos to change the licensing status of through the [http://www.flickr.com/photos/organize/ Organize view]. On this page, you can drag photos into the screen, select ''Permissions'' and then select ''Change licensing''.

[[Image:flickr5.png|border|link=]]

'''You should be presented with a license chooser:'''

[[Image:flickr6.png|border|link=]]

'''You can also batch edit the licensing status of sets or collections. To do this, open the set or collection in the Organize view and in the ''Batch edit'' menu, select ''Change licensing'':'''

[[Image:flickr7.png|border|link=]]

=== License mark ===
CC license marks appear on pages for specific images.

For example, see [http://www.flickr.com/photos/joi/5165089663/ this image].

'''The license mark on that page appears in the right hand column:'''

[[Image:Flickr9.png|border|link=http://www.flickr.com/photos/joi/5165089663/]]

That small image and text links to the specific license deed that the photo is under.

'''The CC mark also appears at the bottom of the menu above the image to ''Share this'':'''

[[Image:Flickr10.png|border|link=http://www.flickr.com/photos/joi/5165089663/]]

=== Metadata ===

Flickr has implemented a subset of the [[CC REL]] specification by specifying the 'license' and 'cc:license'. Note that both names are contained in a single rel= attribute, which is perfectly valid, although the two terms are equivalent and therefore it isn't necessary to use both. See [[RelLicense|this wiki page]] for more information.

'''For an example, see the source code at the top of [http://www.flickr.com/photos/joi/5165089663/ this image's page] for the namespace definitions:'''

<code><nowiki>
<html xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/terms/" xmlns:foaf="http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/" xmlns:cc="http://creativecommons.org/ns#">
</nowiki></code>

'''And then below where the CC BY license is linked to:'''

<code><nowiki>
<a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/deed.en" rel="license cc:license">Some rights reserved</a>
</nowiki></code>

=== CC search ===
You can search for CC licensed content on Flickr by license.

To explore photos by CC license, visit the [http://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/ Creative Commons page] and select your desired license.

To search for Creative Commons licensed photos, go to the [http://www.flickr.com/search/advanced/? advanced search page] and check the box at the bottom to ''Only search within Creative Commons-licensed content''. Then select the desired license permissions.

[[Image:Flickr8.png|border|link=http://www.flickr.com/search/advanced/?]]

== Media ==
[http://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/ Creative Commons licensed photos] and [http://www.lblognetwork.com blog] [http://www.anggarakasa.com seo]

Some collections from Creative Commmons affiliates give a good sense of the type of material collected:

== Overview ==

Mark Pilgrim is a prominent author of software and web development books. Several of his books, including ''Dive Into Python'' and ''Dive Into Python'' 3, have been successfully published in print,<ref name="n1">Amazon.com, ''Dive Into Python (0689253155615): Mark Pilgrim: Books'' <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1590593561/ref%3Dnosim/diveintomark20> at 5 March 2010; Amazon.com, ''Dive Into Python 3 (Books for Professionals by Professionals) (9781430224150): Mark Pilgrim: Books'' <http://www.amazon.com/Dive-Into-Python-Books-Professionals/dp/1430224150/> at 5 March 2010.</ref> notwithstanding that they were also freely available online under open licences.<ref name="n2">M Pilgrim, ''Dive Into Python'' (20 May 2004) <http://diveintopython.org/> at 27 February 2010; M Pilgrim, ''Dive Into Python 3'' (11 February 2010) <http://diveintopython3.org> at 27 February 2010.</ref>

First published online in October 2000, ''Dive Into Python'' was originally inspired as simply a short tutorial for his co-workers on the rapidly evolving Python programming language.<ref name="n3">M Pilgrim, ''Dive into history'' (4 August 2002) Dive into mark <http://diveintomark.org/archives/2002/08/04/dive_into_history> at 1 March 2010.</ref> However, frustrated by the lack of documentation available, the idea quickly developed into an altruistic endeavour on the basis that "free software deserves free documentation" – leading him to license his work under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL).<ref name="n3" /><ref name="n4">M Pilgrim, ''Open source and reputation'' (6 September 2001) Dive into mark <http://diveintomark.org/archives/2001/09/06/open_source_and_reputation> at 1 March 2010</ref> (Creative Commons had not been established at that time.)<ref name="n5">Creative Commons was founded in 2001, with the first licences released in 2002. (Creative Commons, ''About'' <http://creativecommons.org/about/> at 5 March 2010.)</ref> Mark Pilgrim worked on the documentation over a number of years, and it paid off. In 2003, Apress, a publisher of information technology books, saw an opportunity to publish ''Dive Into Python'' in print and began a collaboration with Mark Pilgrim to put the book on shelves. It became available from Amazon.com on 19 July 2004. The free book has since earned him over $10,000 in royalties.<ref name="n6">M Pilgrim, ''"Dive Into Python" has now earned me over $10,000 in royalties, despite being Free and online for 8 years.'' (7 October 2009) Twitter http://twitter.com/diveintomark/statuses/4701803934 at 5 March 2010.</ref>

Following the success of the first book, Apress commissioned Mark Pilgrim to work on a book for the next version of Python. ''Dive Into Python'' 3 was born in January 2009, licensed online under the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike (CC BY-SA) 3.0 Unported licence.<ref name="n7">Email from Mark Pilgrim to Jason Leong, 27 February 2010.</ref> Creative Commons licences were now mature alternatives to the GFDL that Apress was familiar with and comfortable with using.<ref name="n7" /> The printed book became available from Amazon.com on 23 October 2009 and is ranking highly in the Python sales category.<ref name="n1" />

Most recently, Google Press approached Mark Pilgrim to write a book describing the new features of the next-generation web document format, HTML5. Google Press specifically chose to work with Mark Pilgrim because they knew he embraced the ideals of open licencing and free online publishing. With the weight of Google Press behind him, Mark Pilgrim was able to negotiate a publishing deal with O'Reilly (the publisher of the Google Press imprint) to use the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) 3.0 Unported licence.<ref name="n7" /> The CC BY licence is the least restrictive of all the standard Creative Commons licences.

Other openly licensed works authored by Mark Pilgrim include ''Dive Into Accessibility'' (a guide to making websites more accessible, licenced under the GFDL) and ''Dive Into Greasemonkey'' (a tutorial on using the Greasemonkey programming language, licensed under the GPL).<ref name="n11">M Pilgrim, ''Dive Into Accessibility'' (2002) <http://diveintoaccessibility.org> at 27 February 2010, M Pilgrim, ''Dive Into Greasemonkey'' (2005) <http://diveintogreasemonkey.org> at 27 February 2010.</ref> He has also written one traditionally-licensed book, ''Greasemonkey Hacks''.<ref name="n12">Amazon.com, ''Greasemonkey Hacks: Tips & Tools for Remixing the Web with Firefox (9780596101657): Mark Pilgrim: Books'' <http://www.amazon.com/Greasemonkey-Hacks-Tools-Remixing-Firefox/dp/0596101651> at 5 March 2010.</ref>

== Licence usage ==

Of the six standard Creative Commons licences, Mark Pilgrim chose to use the CC BY and CC BY-SA licences. In his view, these two licences best reflect the "free culture" ethos that he believes in.<ref name="n13">M Pilgrim, ''Thank you for giving me the opportunity to explain this to you'' (19 October 2009) Dive into mark <http://diveintomark.org/archives/2009/10/19/the-point> at 1 March 2010.</ref> He explains why this is important in the metadata of ''Dive Into Python'':

<blockquote>There are already several excellent Python books that have gone out of print, because their publishers decided that it was not in their best interest to continue publishing them. That never has to happen to free books. You have the freedom to keep this book alive. If I choose to stop distributing it, you can distribute it yourself. If I move on and this book goes out of date, you can pick up where I left off and keep this book current and relevant.<ref name="n14">M Pilgrim, ''XML (DocBook)'' (20 May 2004) Dive Into Python <http://diveintopython.org/> at 5 March 2010.</ref></blockquote>

These comments proved their worth over the passage of time. In less than a year, ''Dive Into Python'' was translated in three different languages, several organisations included a copy of ''Dive Into Python'' as part of their software installation, and others added new features to allow pages to be commented upon.<ref name="n4" /><ref name="n15">M Pilgrim, ''Copyleft for text'' (1 February 2002) Dive into mark <http://diveintomark.org/archives/2002/02/01/copyleft_for_text> at 1 March 2010.</ref> Users weren't stifled by copyright restrictions from using his work in these creative ways – Mark Pilgrim had already given the necessary permission in advance by choosing an open licence. Indeed, some of the translations occurred without him even knowing it.

In return, the feedback and reputation that Mark Pilgrim gained from the book led him to greater opportunities. Because his book was available online, others were able to contribute feedback that he could later incorporate in newer revisions. This feedback helped ''Dive Into Python'' to grow to over 200 pages long by April 2002.<ref name="n16">M Pilgrim, ''Mine does'' (19 April 2002) Dive into mark <http://diveintomark.org/archives/2002/04/19/mine_does> at 1 March 2010.</ref> Mark Pilgrim even received a job offer based on the ''Dive Into Python'' website, prompting his employer at the time to make a counteroffer so they could continue telling their clients that they had a "world famous author" on their staff.<ref name="n4" /> Were it not for the open licence attached to his work, Mark Pilgrim may not have gained the audience and reputation that led Apress to start his career as a published author.<ref name="n18">Reddit, ''Dive Into Python 3 – Mark Pilgrim has completed his Creative Commons Licensed book about Python 3'' (17 September 2009) <http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/9lhvp/dive_into_python_3_mark_pilgrim_has_completed_his/> at 5 March 2009.</ref>

However, Mark Pilgrim also recognises that open licensing is not for everyone, and that it can carry a number of pitfalls for those who don't understand its ramifications. In October 2009, "a small firestorm within Apress" occurred after another company published their own version of ''Dive Into Python'' and listed it on Amazon.com.<ref name="n13" /> Mark Pilgrim took this as an opportunity to explain his stance:

<blockquote>Part of choosing a Free license for your own work is accepting that people may use it in ways you disapprove of. There are no "field of use" restrictions, and there are no "commercial use" restrictions either. In fact, those are two of the fundamental tenets of the "Free" in Free Software. If "others profiting from my work" is something you seek to avoid, then Free Software is not for you. Opt for a Creative Commons "Non-Commercial" license, or a "personal use only" freeware license, or a traditional End User License Agreement. Free Software doesn't have "end users." That's kind of the point.<ref name="n13" /></blockquote>

Using open licensing can also be a hard sell to publishers. Not everybody at Apress was comfortable with the idea, and it took some determination to keep the book openly licensed.<ref name="n18" /> Even after the successful publication of ''Dive Into Python'', Apress was wary of following the same path for ''Dive Into Python'' 3 because of the spectre of risk involved with competing with a free online version. O'Reilly was no different – when negotiating a contract for ''Dive Into HTML5'', Mark Pilgrim conceded several thousand dollars in advance payments in order for the free online version to go ahead.<ref name="n7" />

Free culture simply mattered more to him – although he admits that the decision is easier to make when you don't need the money to survive.

<blockquote>Principles are always easier to live up to on a full stomach. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.<ref name="n18" /></blockquote>

== Motivations ==

Mark Pilgrim didn't envision that he would make money out of his writing. He writes because he loves to write, and he uses open licences to demonstrate the value that free culture can deliver.<ref name="n7" /><ref name="n13" /><ref name="n16" /> When writing ''Dive Into Python'', he had this to say:

<blockquote>As I write this, the year is 2000, and the Internet is a battleground of intellectual property disputes. Some people would like you to believe that, without proper financial incentives, music, literature, and computer software would disappear. After all, who would make music if they can't make money on it? Who would write? Who would program? I know the answer. The answer is that musicians will make music, not because they can make money, but because musicians are the people who can't not make music. Writers will write because they can't not write. I've been programming for 16 years, writing free software for 8. I can't imagine not doing this. If you can imagine yourself not doing what you're doing, do something else. Do whatever it is that you can't not do.<ref name="n14" /></blockquote>

Mark Pilgrim tried the traditional, closed publishing model and found little benefit. He reiterated his motivation to publish with open licences in February 2010:

<blockquote><p>I write for love, not for money. Sometimes money comes, sometimes it doesn't, but I can't not write [http://www.lblognetwork.com blog tips]. I've written one traditionally-licensed book, and it was a commercial disaster. Maybe that was just bad timing, maybe it was a niche subject that didn't really have the audience everybody thought it would have. I don't know about [http://www.anggarakasa.com seo]. But I know this: I gave up my rights, I gave up all the opportunities for public feedback and audience and discussion, and the final product bombed. </p>

<p>So no more of that.</p>

<p>I'm going to continue to write, and openly license what I write, and publish what I write online. I'm doing what I can't not do.</p>

<p>If publishers want to get in on that action, I'm happy to work with them.<ref name="n7" /></p></blockquote>

== Other information ==

Mark Pilgrim doesn't agree with everything about Creative Commons licencing.

He laments the fact that Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial (CC BY-NC) licences discriminate against different fields of endeavour and aren't truly "free" in the same way that free and open source software is free. He argues that the inclusion of these types of licences in Creative Commons has weakened the principles of a free culture community. Nevertheless, he respects the fact that the creator of a work should be able to choose a licence they are comfortable with.<ref name="n27">M Pilgrim, ''Waiting for the revolution'' (15 September 2006) Dive into mark <http://diveintomark.org/archives/2006/09/15/cc-by-nc> at 1 March 2010.</ref>

For Mark Pilgrim, that means using CC BY and CC BY-SA.

== Overview ==

Jonathan Coulton is a singer-songwriter and musician based in Brooklyn, New York, in the United States of America. Coulton refers to his music as an experiment in the new ways in which content will be distributed and disseminated as a result of the Internet. His rationale, in his own words, is that, ‘I give away music because I want to make music, and I can’t make music unless I make money, and I won’t make any money unless I get heard, and I won’t get heard unless I give away music.' (http://www.jonathancoulton.com/faq#Who). In 2005, Coulton began a project entitled 'Thing a Week', where he wrote and released a new song on his [http://www.lblognetwork.com website] every week for a year (http://www.jonathancoulton.com/primer/thing-a-week). The project was aimed at getting publicity for Coulton's music, and several of the songs including 'Flickr' and 'Code Monkey' were big Internet hits. The Thing a Week project was released via a weekly podcast, with each song being available under the Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial licence.

Jonathan Coulton has all of his music available to stream on his [http://www.jonathancoulton.com website], as well as many of the songs available for free download on his [http://www.anggarakasa.com website]. Customers can then buy songs in either mp3 or FLAC format for $US1 and albums for between $US5 –$US10. Customers can also make donations via Paypal or Amazon, buy physical CDs through online distributor CD Baby, download songs as ringtones for free, or buy t-shirts, books and games from the merchandise section. There are even karaoke versions available of some of the songs. Evidencing his enthusiasm for engaging fans, Coulton has even performed concerts in the virtual world, [http://www.secondlife.com Second Life] (http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/6056).

In a May, 2011 interview Coulton noted that he made $500k from his music in 2010. (http://www.techdirt.com/blog/casestudies/articles/20110515/23234814274/another-exception-jonathan-coulton-making-half-million-year-with-no-record-label.shtml)

== License Usage ==

The licence adopted for all Jonathan Coulton songs is the [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial 3.0 licence]. The licence is applied to songs available on Coulton's website both for download and as streaming content. Coulton [http://www.jonathancoulton.com/faq#Use highlights] the importance he places on allowing his fans to have the chance to use his work in whatever way they choose, including remixing and adding to his work.

Though unable to release any statistics, Jonathan says that some of his songs have been downloaded hundreds of thousands of times, and 45% of his income in 2007 was from paid digital downloads (Interview by James Milsom with Jonathan Coulton via email, 5 April 2008). This evidences the success Jonathan has had through the use of Creative Commons licences facilitating the ability to give content away for free. Jonathan's content has been used in music videos made by fans and posted on Youtube, subsequently receiving (in some cases) over a million hits. Fans have also created cover versions of his songs, artwork, dances, plays, card games and even guitar instructional videos. Coulton says that this sort of outcome is very satisfying and validating, but more importantly from a business point of view, such enthusiasm from fans has meant that he has received a great amount of free publicity.

== Motivations ==

Jonathan Coulton heard about open content licensing through his previous work writing software. He heard Lawrence Lessig speak at the PopTech conference in 2003, and was [http://www.jonathancoulton.com/faq#CC sold on the Creative Commons rationale] immediately.

When asked about the benefits of licensing his music under CC by Wagner James Au for New World Notes in September 2006, Jonathan [http://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2006/09/the_second_life.html responded]:

:'It’s gone very well for me. At first, even though I was all fired up about the possibilities of CC, I still had that panicky lizard-brain fear about file sharing. I can understand why it’s a hard thing for people in the industry to get over – I totally sympathise. But at least for someone in my position, it’s the best thing I could have done. Every month I get more traffic, more donations/sales, and more fans. I’m quite certain that having a CC license on all the music has really helped that process. If someone who’s never heard my music before gets a free mp3 (or twenty) and likes it, chances are they’re going to pass it along to some friends, blog about it, maybe even make a video for it. Each one of those outcomes means more exposure, more fans, and more chances for people to pay me – something that wouldn’t have happened as easily if the music was all locked up with DRM and the full battery of copyright restrictions.'

Creative Commons licensing was chosen for its ability to facilitate sharing of content easily for publicity. Also, while understanding the significance of being able to give music away legally, Jonathan sees the importance of protecting some rights in the music, and the non-commercial aspect of the licence he uses serves this purpose well. He sees it as important for musicians to reserve their right to commercially license their content if an opportunity to do so comes their way.

Jonathan uses the Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial 3.0 licence. Following trials using licences that incorporated the ShareAlike provision, Jonathan found that it was too difficult to monitor whether people were indeed 'sharing alike' and licensing his content in the same manner that he had licensed it. For that reason, he abandoned use of the ShareAlike provision.

Having had considerable success owing to Creative Commons licensing, Jonathan Coulton has also seen the difficulties that arise with commercial licensing of content. He has had many offers from businesses hoping to license content for commercial use for small fees. Such situations, he argues, are hard to justify using a lawyer to negotiate and contract into, as they will most likely not earn a lot of money. He suggests that if there were a boilerplate solution similar to the Creative Commons licences that enabled artists to commercially license their work easily this would be of great benefit.

== Overview ==

[http://wikieducator.org/Otago_Polytechnic Otago Polytechnic] is a publicly-subsidised vocational education and training organisation located in Dunedin on the South Island of New Zealand. It provides a range of vocational courses, offering certificates, diplomas, degrees and postgraduate studies in Travel and Tourism, through Automotive Engineering to Midwifery.

Taking an open view of teaching, learning and research, Otago Polytechnic reconsidered their stance on access to educational resources, then governed by traditional views of ownership and Intellectual Property. Key stakeholders were consulted in the review, which occurred over the past two years, providing feedback that the institution needed to be more open to support creative thinking and the application of theory to practice. This culminated in the announcement in March 2008 that Otago Polytechnic was releasing their training materials under open access terms on Wikieducator.

== License Usage ==

As stated in its current [http://wikieducator.org/Otago_Polytechnic/Intellectual_property Intellectual Property Policy]:
:‘Otago Polytechnic wishes to foster research and development that advances knowledge and scholarship; and to support projects where that leads to marketable products or services.
:The Polytechnic:
:*has a preference for the open sharing of information, [http://www.lblognetwork.com seo] knowledge and resources
:*recognises that intellectual property (IP) is owned by the creator, unless there are :specific [http://www.anggarakasa.com seo] agreements to the ownership of IP by others, and
:*wishes to foster the empowerment of individuals in their endeavours in a protective and/or promotional framework for individual creators associated with Otago Polytechnic.’

Otago Polytechnic now offers its open access courses under the Creative Commons Attribution licence, with the application ‘Creative Commons Attribution (Author name) for Otago Polytechnic.’

Individual lecturers own their intellectual property. Encouragement and support is given by the institution to use CC BY for copyright statements. Where the Polytechnic is used to publish or promote work, a CC BY licence is applied wherever possible. Exceptions are made for works where third-party content is not or cannot be cleared. Other restrictions (if any) are time-based and explained.

== Motivations ==

Encouraging open content licenses at Otago Polytechnic by way of its [http://wikieducator.org/Otago_Polytechnic/Intellectual_property Intellectual Property Policy] has assured employees and contractors that they are free to use and develop open content, and that they are free to participate in Open Educational Resource development initiatives. Many staff have now developed independent skills in publishing and managing their own content, as well as locating and reusing third-party open content, and collaborating in content development. The proliferation of open content and associated practices has helped to promote the Polytech as well as the expertise and services of the individuals in its employ. A more independent and participatory culture within the organisation is beginning to develop.

Free and Open Source Software first inspired thinking about free and open source educational content. The success of Wikimedia Foundation projects proved the idea viable. Support from many individuals and initiatives such as Wikieducator has made it possible.

Otago Polytechnic decided to adopt the Creative Commons Attribution licence so as to ensure a maximum amount of freedom and flexibility to itself and to people and organisations sampling its content. Restrictions like ShareAlike and Noncommercial were not an option as they would have compromised or complicated this position.

==Overview==

Valkaama is a collaborative open source movie project. It intends to complete the post-production of a full feature movie to be done publicly with the help of volunteers both amateur and professional. The project was started in November 2006 and published as Open Source in October 2008.

Valkaama is a drama placed in Sweden and Finland. It has been realized with drama school students and amateurs in and around Krakow, Poland. The movie tells the story of two unlike young men, each seeking for his personal future, that are thrown together by fate to travel to “Valkaama” to find what each is looking for. As their paths cross, they do not realize how much of their journey has already been determined by their pasts.
Open Source and Open Content movies are still a rarity in the Internet. Valkaama is one of the first movies not only to be distributed freely but also to guarantee free access to all source data used and created during the production process. The use of CC by-sa 3.0 licenses for the movie and its sources guarantees a very flexible use and reuse of the produced material.

==Licence Usage==

Valkaama uses multiple Creative Commons v.3.0 licenses. The movie itself and the source material are published under a CC by-sa license while other material like pictures and texts on the website are available under various CC licenses like the by and by-nd. A few works are also licensed under a non-commercial attribute because the original artists explicitly demanded it. It is hoped for that the ongoing negotiations and discussions about this issue will lead to lifting this attribute for the works in question as well.

The licenses are consequently used on the projects webpage www.valkaama.com where almost every text, picture and video as well as every downloadable media is tagged with a respective license. In some cases the licenses are also included into the media files themselves.

==Motivations==

Creative Commons licenses are a simple way to specify how creative work can be used and reused by others. They are accepted and respected both, by the community and by legal institutions which predestines them for an open project like [http://www.anggarakasa.com SEO] Valkaama.

It was decided to mainly use the CC by-sa licenses in order to not restrict the use and reuse of the material unnecessarily. Although it can be used commercially, the share-alike term ensures that the [http://www.lblognetwork.com blogging tips] Valkaama material (and new creative works based upon it) will not be exploited, because this license contradicts the media industry’s business models. The permission for commercial use under a share-alike condition can motivate the creation of new free works based upon the project’s materials and thus enrich our digital culture.

==General==

== Overview ==
Cory Doctorow is a Science Fiction author with a vast amount of work under his name. Cory, as a very early adopter of Creative Commons, has been producing Creative Commons licensed works since 2003 with the publication of the first CC licensed novel Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom. Along with writing SciFi, Cory is one of the editors of Boing Boing, an award wining blog covering a wide range of topics from technological gadgets, to steampunk tricycles, to current information policy debates.

== License Usage ==
Cory Doctorow's literary works are released under Creative Commons Atrribution NonCommercial ShareAlike or Attribution NonCommercial NoDerivatives. His latest work, Little Brother, has spent 4 weeks on the NYTimes bestseller list and is released as BY-NC-SA.

== Motivations ==
As a very early adopter and promoter of Creative Commons licenses, Cory Doctorow's reasoning for using them for his works is well known in certain circles. For instance, in an interview with Greg Grossmeier, community development intern at Creative Commons, Cory gave his reasoning as it relates to the type of writing he does:
“Not only does making my books available for free increase the number of sales that I get, but I also came to understand it artistically as a Science Fiction writer that if I was making work that wasn't intended to be copied, then I was really making contemporary work.”

From that same interview Cory describes how he sees the relationship between the increasing role and power of copyright and the people who use those works:
“As the copyright wars deepened, I really started to understand the cost of imposing a 20th century exclusive rights style copyright on individual users of works in the 21st century would lead to a dramatic decrease in freedoms that are really important like free speech, free expression, even free of assembly and freedom of the press. All of these things would come under fire as a result of the copyright wars.”

Cory's support of the CC licenses also stems from his dislike of overly restrictive forms of protection on creative works. As expressed on his personal website's bio page, written in 2006, “I believe that we live in an era where anything that can be expressed as bits will be. I believe that bits exist to be copied. Therefore, I believe that any business-model that depends on your bits not being copied is just dumb, and that lawmakers who try to prop these up are like governments that sink fortunes into protecting people who insist on living on the sides of active volcanoes.”

Cory Doctorow's literary works are released under Creative Commons Atrribution NonCommercial ShareAlike or Attribution NonCommercial NoDerivatives. His latest work, Little Brother, has spent 4 weeks on the NYTimes bestseller list and is released as BY-NC-SA.

== Motivations ==
As a very early adopter and promoter of Creative Commons licenses, Cory Doctorow's reasoning for using them for his works is well known in certain circles. For instance, in an interview with Greg Grossmeier, community development intern at Creative Commons, Cory gave his reasoning as it relates to the type of writing he does:
“Not only does making my books available for free increase the number of sales that I get, but I also came to understand it artistically as a Science Fiction writer that if I was making work that wasn't intended to be copied, then I was really making contemporary work.”
