Fantastic. Over the past year, I have noticed a huge movement towards groups 
(including non-profits) and individuals developing content that use CC 
licenses. I try to support these efforts by doing what I can which is usually 
telling friends and associates out what I find.

The music side of this movement is really taking off.

Good luck!
