Dee Harris has published a summary
of the recent "fireside chat" featuring Creative Commons founders Hal
Abelson, Lawrence (Larry) Lessig, Molly Van Houweling, and Glenn Otis
Brown. The chat was to mark the 25th anniversary
of Creative Commons and included a look back at its history as
well as a look at the landscape today:
Twenty-five years ago, a small group of people made a bet. They
believed that if you gave creators a simple set of tools and licenses
in language that a lawyer, a machine, and a human could all read,
millions of people might choose to share their work with the world
instead of locking it down.
The video
of the chat is available on YouTube.
