From the CCau website:
 
Those who have been following CC and the public domain in Australia will know that the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney has long been one of the best local advocates of open access in action. Not only have they released hundreds of public domain photos from their collection as part of the Flickr Commons, they also publish much of their teaching material and their ‘photo of the day’ blog under CC.

Yesterday they announced they were going one step further. In an Australian (and possibly world) first, they’ve released all of their collection documentation under CC. From now on, all the online descriptions of their objects will by under CC Attribution-Noncommercial, while the mainly factual data about each object will be under CC Attribution-ShareAlike.

This will make the material much more usable by the general public, and will clear up some uncertainty about how such simple materials can be used.

Congratulations PHM. You can continue to be an example for us all.
