Subject: Sneak Peek: The State of the Commons

As a dedicated supporter and close member of our community, we are excited to share with you a preview of a new report that we will be releasing tomorrow. The State of the Commons report covers the impact and success of free and open content worldwide, and it contains the most revealing account we’ve ever published, including new data on what’s shared with a CC license.

Link to State of the Commons preview (PDF): (bit.ly link)

We found nearly 900 million Creative Commons-licensed works, dramatically up from our last report of 400 million in 2010. Creators are now choosing less restrictive CC licenses more than ever before – over half allow both commercial use and adaptations.

We’re also celebrating the success of open policy worldwide. Fourteen countries have now adopted national open education policies, and open textbooks have saved students more than 100 million dollars. These are big moves making big impacts.

We hope you’ll spread the word tomorrow to help share the value of CC and the work that we all do together.

Thank you for helping to make this possible and for your continued support of our work.

Sincerely,
Ryan
