O Balls!

Whoops just came across this little doozy that I forgot to do...

1.What is creative commons and how could this licensing framework be relevant to your own experience at university?

Creative Commons is a non-for-profit organisation that dedicate themselves to make it easier for people "to share and build upon the works of others, consistent with the rules of copyright."

They also provide free licences and other creative tools which allows creators to be more flexible with their work.

2. Find 3 examples of work created by creative commons and embed them in your blog.

Well I'm not sure if this would count at answering the questions but here are 3 well known websites that use CC.

One of the first to use CC.

Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor release Grammy nominated Ghost I-IV under a CC Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike license.

And good ol' Wiki recently "migrated its licensin structure from the GNU Free Documentation License to a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license.

3. Find an academic article which discusses creative commons using a database or online journal. Provide a link to and a summary of the article.

4.Have a look at Portable Apps (a pc based application)- provide a brief description of what is it and how you think this is useful.

Portable Apps is a free, open source software that is downloaded on to a portable device (such as an usb). It allows you to take your favourite applications, (such as a web browser, office suite, antivirus, audio player, sudoku game and many more) with you. It would be useful for us uni students who do not want to take our laptops with us but rely on public computers.
