New Creative Commons License
Creative Commons has announced an intriguing new Developing Nations license, designed to give developing nations the freedom to "copy, distribute, display, and perform the work" and "to make derivative works". Otherwise full copyright applies to those in the developed world.
This is a great concept, which is not unlike the policy of some shareware software authors - charging for commercial or corporate use, while allowing free personal use. It will be interesting to see what types of high-profile content creators adopt this license.
