An article in Locus Online is a concise explanation of Creative Commons and of the expanding copyright creative paralysis that led to the need for CC. Think of this question: why can’t we remix Mickey Mouse and other aging Disney properties when, as Doctorow writes: “think of how Walt Disney was able to adapt works by Lewis Carroll and Washington Irving without permission or payment” ?
Now developing is a division of Creative Commons called ccLearn whose mission of relevance to the ideas of Golden Swamp is: to minimize barriers to sharing and reuse of educational materials, legal barriers, technical barriers, and social barriers.
