Creative Commons


A while back I asked if anyone was using a Creative Commons license on their institution's Web pages. I only received one reply, so it seems to be the exception rather than the rule. For institutes, like here at the Lunar and Planetary Institute, which do not copyright many of our publications, it would make sense. Maybe some education would help. Maybe the folks could come to LPSC next year and talk to the planetary science community.
