Development of Creative Commons licenses

["Erik Moeller" <erik AT wikimedia.org>]

The http://freedomdefined.org/ team is happy to announce the
publication of a new set of licensing buttons for Free Cultural Works.
These can be found at:

http://freedomdefined.org/Logos_and_buttons

They clearly identify works as being under a particular license, and
also show the "Free Cultural Works" logo which symbolizes that all the
Four Freedoms from http://freedomdefined.org/ are granted to users of
the material (including the often denied freedom to make commercial
use).

The Definition of Free Cultural Works was recently adopted by the
Wikimedia Foundation for Wikipedia and its sister projects, and is
also linked from the Free Software Definition at:
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html

These buttons are in the public domain; there are no trademarks or
other rights claimed, either.

I would like to encourage all authors adopt these buttons to show your
support for the freedom in Free Culture.

Peace & Love,
Erik
