obama embraces creative common

Yet, that a Creative Commons license has been embraced by the President-Elect means good things. Most importantly, that the President has knowledge of less-restrictive copyright methods, and first-hand experience that not only do they work, but that the sky doesn?t fall down when they are used, cannot hurt. That the license chosen was, in Lessig?s words, the ?freest license? is more encouraging still.

One can only hope that when the likes of the RIAA and MPAA come to talk about further strengthening copyright, he turns around and says, ?I?ve been using these great CC licenses, have you heard of them?? Regardless, it?s a great boost to Creative Commons, as they prepare to celebrate their sixth birthday.
