Development of Creative Commons licenses

[Sigmascape1 AT cs.com]

Hi,

First, thanks to everyone who responded to my recent posts. The PNG metadata 
issue is driving me nuts.

I have requested this in the past, but I am going to bring it up again. I 
really would like to see more examples of people (or groups/companies) 
releasing content with 'no rights reserved' or public domain showcased on the 
CC website. Also, how about a public domain-oriented mailing list? There 
aren't many days that go by that I don't use the CC site for something, and 
find it critical to my efforts, but I believe more emphasis needs to be 
placed on this area of licensing (yes, I realize public domain is not a 
license). Dedicating content to the public domain is critical to the success 
of the open content movement. The standard CC licenses are important, and I 
know that the copyright middle ground that CC serves is also very important, 
but I'd like to see some emphasis on public domain issues. 

I am not trying to soapbox, I am just trying to remind everyone how important 
the public domain is, and will be in the future.

Thanks!!!
