I'm quite intrigued by Lawrence Lessig's Creative Commons foundation, an attempt to formalize liberal licensing of artwork and other media. I had created my own license for Artwork , Web-Pages, or CD-ROMs a while back, but I'll gladly switch to the equivalent Attribute-NonCommercial from CC.

Now I just wish they would publish an unfiltered feed of web-sites that register at their site. Nothing wrong with them creating a database of materials they judge to be in their interest to publicize, but why sit on the only complete database of CC-licensed material? Their web pages state they expect others (search engines, et.al.) to build these indices, but why search the whole web when you can start with a targeted list?

shlomif, yeah that's it, that's what we need, a Freshmeat for Creative-Commons.
