Andy Raskin, Giving It Away (for Fun and Profit), Business 2.0, May 2004. Raskin documents the variety of uses people have made of Creative Commons licenses. In the case of one musician, sharing his work led to some commercial licensing deals. Most users are looking for name recognition first. Raskin describes the licensing variables (nice graphic) and relates experiences in CC publishing using Cory Doctorow and, of course, Lawrence Lessig as examples, while drawing parallels to open-source software.

Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
