"When asked to describe the impact of CC licensing on her and her students
lives, Kasyoka said, “To most people, CC is a legal tool — this thing that
[builds on] copyright. But when you actually go out in the field and you see
it influencing students’ lives (and me personally), it stops becoming a legal
thing. It becomes an instrument that people are using to advance themselves.
It’s not just a legal thing that was invented in an ivory tower; it is
actually changing lives. It’s huge.”
