Hi everyone,
I'm Philipp from Germany and wanted to share with you my Creative
Commons licensed projects.
Google Blogoscoped
http://blog.outer-court.com
As of this year, this is my full-time blog. I didn't take the decision
lightly to publish a full-content feed and also allow republication
under CC simply because of what I call "shadow blogs", blog networks
who take my content as search engine fodder and republish everything
instantly, but in the end felt it was the best decision. Additionally,
I'm offering my 2005 archive including all images as easy download for
reuse or mashing:

-----------------
Gaxed.com
http://gaxed.com
This message generator site lets you put your message/ greeting/
slogan/ one-liner on a variety of backgrounds. For the images I used
Flickr images shared under a Creative Commons licenses. Consequently
the resulting message is shared under Creative Commons as well, so you
can grab any image and republish it.

Interview: Lawrence Lessig
http://blog.outer-court.com/archive/2006-04-03-n67.html
An interview I did with Lawerence Lessig a couple of months ago.

Upwarded
http://www.opentrivia.com
Upwarded is a digg-like system for fun links, no registration needed.
I made available the full source (PHP5/MySQL/XHTML/CSS) as a GNU GPL/
CC license:

-----------------
QML
http://www.questml.com
QML, the Quest Markup Language, is a tool and language to create
choose-your-own-adventure games for online playing or print. Actually,
back in 2000 or so when I created this I simply released it as open
source & freeware, but I suppose I can change the license to CC one of
these days to make it more bulletproof freeware.
Another open source freeware of mine can be found at
http://www.netpadd.com (a web-development oriented text editor, in
which I'm writing these lines, by the way)
-----------------
Captain Copyright Episode #12
http://blog.outer-court.com/copyright/
My parody of Captain Copyright, Canadas propaganda superhero
(supervillain?) fighting against copyright-offenders. Comic shared
under a By/Non-Commercial CC license.
-----------------
Authorama
http://www.authorama.com
On Authorama, I'm republishing books found on the Project Gutenberg
public domain archive with an emphasis on Web Standards and
readability -- all works are published in chapterized XHTML 1.0 Strict
with a hopefully tasteful CSS. Some of the books are also from
CC-licenses, like works of Cory Doctorow and Lawrence Lessig. With
Authorama, I do display an ad to the right side of the content,
however that ad can be safely said to not make enough money to even
cover server costs, so I hope that counts as non-commercial.
-----------------
OpenTrivia
http://www.opentrivia.com
At OpenTrivia, everyone can add questions & answers to the different
quiz games. Quiz files can then be played on the site or downloaded as
XML. There is also a desktop editor for question & answer sets, which
I can then host on the site. The license is a simple "By attribution"
CC.
-----------------
Schlecht Bedient
http://www.schlechtbedient.de
"Schlecht bedient" means "bad service", and this is a German bad
service blog. In particular as people are urged to send in stories of
their own, I made this a CC-blog.
-----------------
Comments welcome, and I hope one or two of these links were of interest to you!
Philipp
