Ein Projekt von Creative Commons, mit dem Namen “Science Commons”

“Our goal is to promote innovation in science by lowering the legal and technical costs of the sharing and reuse of scientific work. We remove unnecessary obstacles to scientific collaboration by creating voluntary legal regimes for research and development.”

Und aus den FAQ:

Is Science Commons only about legal products such as licenses?
No. Science Commons is also working on educational materials and curricula, organizational designs (technology trusts, patent pools, etc) and, in some cases, simply bringing together stakeholders to talk about how the law can hinder innovation.

Is Science Commons building a database of licensed content?
Absolutely not. We believe in the Net, not a centralized, information bank controlled by a single organization. We are building tools so that the semantic web can identify and sort intellectual property in a distributed, decentralized manner. We are not in the business of collecting content, or building databases of content.
