Do you have a story to tell about how you are using creative commons licenses? Or maybe you’d like to find some examples of how others are using CC licenses.
Some examples:
- Ancient Free Gardeners - “Open content licensing was chosen as the band saw the great potential in using the Internet for both distribution and publicity.”
- Dictionary of Sydney - “The goal of the Dictionary of Sydney (DoS) project is to build a self-sustaining repository of historical information on Sydney, Australia, assembled from newly commissioned entries as well as underlying multimedia and spatial information.”
- ABC Pool - “Pool is an experimental collaborative online media platform under development by the Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC), in association with various Australian tertiary institutions and members of the digital media community.”
There are lots more examples from all around the World covering audio, video, text and image uses.

We have just set up a Wordpress Mu installation so that staff and students at Murdoch University can create and maintain blogs. After consulting with our legal officers and copyright co-ordinator, we have set up the Legal Terms and Conditions so that all content on the blogs default to an Attribution ShareAlike 2.5 Australia Creative Commons Public Licence - http://www.murdoch.edu.au/admin/policies/blogstac.html .
We have modified the Creative Commons license wordpress plugin from that available on the US CC site so that our users can change the license themselves to a different CC license or to copyright or to no licensing requirement.
Our model for this was the legal terms and conditions for staff and students on the Wordpress Mu installation provided for the Harvard University community by the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/terms-of-use/ - which also happens to be the home of Creative Commons.
