Hi all - this is an important and timely issue and I couldn't agree
more. I have discussed the subject with legal counsel for CBC generally
and previously had reached an agreement whereby the CC licence
generator would be integrated into the ZeD website. However, I am sorry
to report that neither initiative has gone forward. CBC maintains a
general aversion to the suggestion of open access and ZeD has reneged
on the deal.
Creative Commons Canada is now in the process of renewing its strategy
to encourage CBC to adopt an open access model for its content.
Strengthened by recent public consciousness of the benefits of open
access and the BBC's example, I hope that we will prove to be
persuasive in the near future.
Updates will be posted to both the Creative Commons Canada website and
this list.
