Creative Commons Launches Open Business Models Initiative | Open Electronics

"The Creative Commons Open Business Models Initiative aims to show how Creative Commons licenses can be used to create financially sustainable organizations. Funded by a grant from the Hewlett Foundation, it was developed in response to a question frequently asked of the Creative Commons team: 'How do I earn a living, pay the bills, and keep the lights on if I openly license my work and give it away for free?' ... CreativeCommon is looking for people to help them with the Service Design, here is how: Design, develop, and iterate a set of interactive Creative Commons open business model tools that anyone can use to design an open business model. Use these open business model tools yourself to generate your own open business model(s). Share the results of your participation including the open business models you generate. Provide feedback and recommendations for improving the Creative Commons open business model tools and process. Partner directly with Creative Commons on developing an open business model for your specific initiative. Participate in a Creative Commons workshop on generating open business models. Contribute to a Creative Commons open business models report ..."
