While it’s neither the most important nor the most controversial moment of today, I did feel compelled to post about whitehouse.gov incorporating a Creative Commons license for the content on the website.
This is meaningful in many ways, but I’m encouraged that copyright, intellectual laws, and creative efforts by our society will improve over the next four years rather than slide towards ever more stifling and constricting stances on content generation/use as they have over the past several years.
