A Creative World

Poverty is not only about money...and solving poverty is not only about giving...it is also about sharing.

What if education was global? What if every book was free, accessible to anyone? What if anyone could access, remix and reuse every single piece of work that exists...literature, music, movies,...free of charge!

What if knowledge was global? Patents are about protecting intellectual property...but does it make sense to keep the composition of an important medicine secret...making it impossible for poor countries like India to provide the drug at a reasonable price for Indians?

Freeing art, education and science is what Creative Commons aims for. So the next time you create, why not share it using the CC licenses?
