Creative Commons and the Future of Sharing
Creative Commons (CC) is a non-profit organization established to promote the sharing of creative works through flexible licensing beyond standard copyright. The document discusses the significance of CC licenses, which enable creators to retain ownership while allowing others to use, adapt, and distribute their works legally. It also highlights initiatives like Open Educational Resources and student involvement in CC licensing to encourage collaboration and resource sharing in educational settings.

Editor's Notes
- #4 Finally, there is a “machine-readable” part to the licenses. Machine readability is a crucial aspect for any attribute about objects on the web. This is what makes it possible for Google, Yahoo, or myriad other search and social software products to identify CC-licensed content. Ideally, the licenses should be associated with the so-licensed content with a one-to-one relationship and codified within the html where the content is published. The mark-up standard that makes this all possible is also crucial for any other attributes that we might care to identify for web-based objects, and I will circle back to that since it is a key aspect of ccLearn’s work.

- #24 You can also embed licenses in XML in a few non-html products, such as Adobe pdfs, Microsoft 2007 objects, and Open Office products. And of course you can always just cut and paste the appropriate text and icons onto your document or resource. If you do the latter, you get all of the legal benefits, but a machine cannot read the legal status, so this is less desirable unless you are not publishing the works on the web.
