From the BBC report linked in the article: the Creative Commons model already working in the United States
OK, if I'm going to react about anything, here, this will be it
"already working in the United States?"
Creative Commons is not among the set of things boundable by geopolitical lines.
maybe the BBC's author, there, did not quite understand that.
(and yes, Creative Commons does not include the only members of the set of reasonable licenses, "but hey, they seem to have some sort of a system of<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.. licensing-related<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... things<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... and, 'more than that', they are building something like a brand-name, or<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... a<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... 'community anchor'<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... about it"<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... and yet, not with a Gates or a Balmer behind it, "but with some 'fans', maybe".)
"and hey, we cannot all seek to define<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... er<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... or to explain<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... what 'free' does mean"<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... "so, maybe I'll be careful about picking up the Stallman stick."
trailing off<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... with points<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... and doubts<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... "in a world where 'intellectual property' is perceived of as if it did, actually, exist"
