Time to open our wallets for Creative Commons. Larry Lessig posts:
Photo by Kathryn Yu, licensed under by-nc-sa.Today, Creative Commons launches a fund raising campaign. The trigger is some bizarrely complicated requirement of the IRS that nonprofits demonstrate not just support from some large, wise, foundations, but also “public support.†So we’ve got an (urgent) need to demonstrate that support, through, well, support.
Over the course of the campaign, I’m going to be writing a weekly email that lays out the story of Creative Commons. There will be some surprise guest email authors as well as some replies to critics, and lots of reflection. You can subscribe to the letters here. They’ll be short and again just weekly. The first one is posted here. And of course, please, whatever you can, you can support Creative Commons here.
