jan 2, 2002 - Birth of Creative Commons

Description:

Inspired by the value of Eldred’s goal to make more creative works freely available on the internet, Lessig and others created a nonprofit organization called Creative Commons and in 2002, they published the Creative Commons licenses-a set of free, public licenses that would allow creators to keep their copyrights while sharing their works on more flexible terms than the default “all rights reserved.”
