The introduction of Creative Commons licences to UK

November 1st brings about the introduction of Creative Commons licences to the UK. Developed to allow a more flexible approach to copyright, the licences allow control over various aspects of reproduction and adapation.

"The project is the brainchild of Stanford University's law professor Lawrence Lessig, and the licences allow artists to move away from traditional copyright's "all rights reserved" towards a more digital age-friendly "some rights reserved"."
