How relevant are Creative Commons licences to typical outputs from Web 2.0 projects?
These are highly relevant and important licences in helping to achieve the principles of open access within a dynamic Web2.0 environment. They have the enormous benefits of being delivered via the web and available in three formats (including machine readable code). As in the case of the use of any licences, it is important that they are fit for purpose and possible risks and benefits are carefully assessed prior to utilization. Any projects wishing to use CC licences, need to ensure that they own the rights (or have permissions from any third party rights holders) to make content available under the respective CC licence.
