CREATIVE COMMONS STATISTICS GENERATOR

At the end of last week OpenBusiness.cc released a Creative Commons  
Statistics Generator:  www.openbusiness.cc/cc_stat/.
The tool itself is licensed under the GPL and can hence be tinkered  
with.

The Statistics Generator works by querying Yahoo! for back-links to  
Creative Commons licences.
The number of backlinks gives insight into the amount of CC licenced  
works available on the Internet.

The statistics generator has been created as part of a quantitative  
and qualitative survey into the usage of Creative Commons licences  
kindly supported by the Arts Council England. The project is  
facilitaed by OpenBusiness.cc and focuses on Creative Commons in  
England and Wales.
