In this context, the BA has been keen to adopt Creative Commons (CC) licenses in Egypt, as one of enabling tools in spreading the philosophy of access to knowledge (A2K) and consequently building the local capacity of researchers, librarians and practitioners. Adopting the CC Egypt initiative was regarded as a harmonizing element in the A2K activities that are pursued by the BA since 2006. Creative Commons was first introduced to the Egyptian and Arab Academia and Researchers in September 2006 as a new tool for the dissemination of knowledge and the promotion of innovation and creativity in the Arab world.
