A couple of days ago the ABC's excellent collaborative media site, Pool, posted a recording of genetics professor Steve Jones talking about Darwin’s life and work under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial licence. As far as we're aware, this is the very first time material from the ABC archives has been released under a Creative Commons licence.
 
And this is just the beginning. Pool plans to release a whole series of ABC archival materials that for remixing as part of its its Gene Pool project.
 
We're all very excited here at CCau. The ABC has, almost without question, the largest historical audiovisual archive in Australia. Just think what we can do with it.
