Things #23

Creative Commons is an interesting way to maintain some control over work but make it part of the public domain.  Someone mentioned that Peggy Sharp gives people who attend her conference the right to copy the notebook to give to others.  She says she does this because she know the conference attendees will anyway.

Attribution is usually required, but a fee is neither assessed nor is it collected.  The 23 Things has a block at the end on the right column that says the program was created by Helene Blowers and is covered with a Creative Commons License.  There are two other credits given.  I think that this will enable a number of people to explore their creative side by building upon the work that has gone before to make an even better, more creative whatever.  This is in keeping with the Library 2.0 ideal of always being in Beta.
