What is Creative Commons?
simply put ~
"Creative Commons defines the spectrum of possibilities between full copyright — all rights reserved — and the public domain — no rights reserved. Our licenses help you keep your copyright while inviting certain uses of your work — a "some rights reserved" copyright."

In other words, how best to share your creative works on the net with the option to protect it the way you want it and still allow others to use, abuse and work on top of it.

I got into the whole CC movement last year (and still reeling from the effects) when Ng Alina came to talk to me after she returned from STANFORD as Dr. Ng Alina! She was did her PhD thesis with Professor Lawrence Lessig ( the main man evangelising the CC movement). I heard about CC but I did not know much. But, then, why not? Why not help Alina?

Hey, i'm creative. And I guess you are too. CC helps both of us share our creativity without worrying how people use our works for their own convenience.

But I guess the hardest task for me is to ensure that we as malaysians could contribute to CC by putting our works licensed on the net with the CC licenses. This will be the biggest hurdle and hopefully we can get all the support we can. This is why we have created the CC Board helmed by a few notable creative heads. This will hopefully spur the support we need to move the project forward.

Will report more on this later... for now.. go check out the URL attached.
