Creative Commons announces its 1st annual Fall Fundraising Campaign

Anonymous Patron writes Support the Commons! Creative Commons needs your support. Over the past three years, we have offered authors and creators simple tools to mark their content with the freedom they believe it should carry. These tools have helped build a movement. There are now over fifty-million objects on the web that link back to our licenses. There are hundreds of volunteers working to spread our free licenses across the globe.

To come this far, we have relied upon the substantial support of major foundations. But now we need to show the world that our support reaches beyond foundation boardrooms.

And thus we need your support now. To sustain our growth, we need to build core membership in Creative Commons. We need these members to help us to continue to offer free tools to enable a flexible range of protections and freedoms for artists, educators, scientists and writers. Your (tax deductible) contribution will make an important difference now.”
