Fellow CCers,
My name is Susheel Daswani. I'm a software engineer at Lime Wire LLC - we produce the world's most popular cross-platform Gnutella client, LimeWire. We have just started a project to integrate Creative Commons licenses into the LimeWire client. We want to make it easy for users to flag their content under Creative Commons licenses in addition to search for and identify Creative Commons content easily.

Since the open-source LimeWire client is written in Java, I was wondering if there are any preexisting Creative Commons Java implementations. I haven't been able to find any but I wanted to make sure before we started this effort. If not, we will make available our implementation under the GPL.

I'm currently in the process of attempting to understand the RDF and metadata format of CC licenses. I'm sure I'll have questions so expect e-mails in the future :) .

Thanks!
Susheel Daswani
