CREATIVE COMMONS STATISTICS GENERATOR

At the end of last week OpenBusiness.cc released a Creative Commons Statistics Generator: www.openbusiness.cc/cc_stat/.
The tool itself is licensed under the GPL and can hence be tinkered with.

The Statistics Generator works by querying Yahoo! for back-links to Creative Commons licences.
The number of backlinks gives insight into the amount of CC licenced works available on the Internet.

The statistics generator has been created as part of a quantitative and qualitative survey into the usage of Creative Commons licences kindly supported by the Arts Council England. The project is facilitaed by OpenBusiness.cc and focuses on Creative Commons in England and Wales.
