“The power of open” - Creative Commons Buch

“The power of open” – ein Buch über, von und unter Creative Commons, ein Buch über Erfolgsgeschichten mit Creative-Commons-Lizenzen.
Introduction:
The world has experienced an explosion of openness. From individual
artists opening their creations for input from others, to governments
requiring publicly funded works be available to the public, both the spirit
and practice of sharing is gaining momentum and producing results.
Creative Commons began providing licenses for the open sharing of
content only a decade ago. Now more than 400 million CC-licensed works
are available on the Internet, from music and photos, to research findings
and entire college courses. Creative Commons created the legal and
technical infrastructure that allows effective sharing of knowledge, art and
data by individuals, organizations and governments. More importantly,
millions of creators took advantage of that infrastructure to share work
that enriches the global commons for all humanity.
