Today, Creative Commons announces the release of the Public Domain Mark, a tool that enables works free of known copyright restrictions to be labeled in a way that clearly communicates that status to the public, and allows the works to be easily discovered over the Internet.

Creative Commons is deeply honored to announce CERN corporate support at the "creator level". CERN is one of the world’s premier scientific institutions–home of the Large Hadron Collider and birthplace of the web. This donation comes on the occasion of the publication under Creative Commons licenses of the first results of LHC experiments.

I was surfing around yesterday, I noticed that OpenSource.com has an article about building communities that work.

Everything I publish here is covered under the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial license. Basically this means anyone is free to use it, share it, or adapt it as they like, as long as they credit me for the original work and don’t use it commercially. I bring this up because I had a plagiarism issue arise recently.

Melissa from the Creative Commons pointed me to the rather good news that Canonical's offer to match Creative Commons donations up to $3000 has already been matched

"I’m happy to announce the launch of this year’s Commoner Letter series – a series of letters written by prominent members of the CC community in support of our annual fundraising campaign. We want to be very clear that this campaign is about much more than raising money for CC.
