Open Government: the Obama team has modified the copyright notice on change.gov to embrace the intellectual property licensing of Creative Communs, allowing bloggers and others to freely use it.
A group of internet visionaries, lead by Lawrence Lessig, launched today a letter making the case for a looser online copyright regime. [...] “To further support President Obama’s commitment to change, and to help make it tangible, we offer three “open transition principles” to guide the transition in its use of the Internet to produce the very best in open government.”
The “Principles for an Open Transition” are three:
1. No Legal Barrier to Sharing
2. No Technological Barrier to Sharing
3. Free competition
