Hi all,

For those of you interested in the online outrage relating to Google
Chrome's Terms of Service, Read/Write Web today comments that Creative
Commons licensing is a solution, and calls for further education:

"Ought not all the services we use online make it easy for us to apply
licenses beyond the simplest copyright by default to our content? We can't
think of any better way for all parties to win.
Imagine an in-browser way to apply more flexible licenses to any content
being published. That would make far more content available for reuse by
everyone from individuals to giant companies like Google, but it would also
keep control over content in the hands of creators."

Cheers,
Rachel
