Creative Commons is a nonprofit organization dedicated to making it easier for people to share and build upon the work of others, consistent
with the rules of copyright. The tools give everyone from individual creators to large companies and institutions a simple, standardized way to grant copyright permissions to their creative work. The Creative Commons licenses enable people to easily change their copyright terms from the default of “all rights reserved” to “some rights reserved.” Greg will show how CC licenses enable new methods of collaboration in areas such as Education and how Free/Open Source Software plays an important role in all of it.
