Yahoo Launches Creative Commons Search

Yahoo! today announced a new search capability to allow people to find Creative Commons-licensed content. Coming on the heels of Creative Commons founder Lawrence Lessig’s call to support “remix culture” at the O’Reilly’s Emerging Tech conference, the move is another white hat for Yahoo among the open source/open culture crowd.Creative Commons licenses allow authors to specify the rights they want to give away and how they want their works to be used. The beta version of Yahoo! Search for Creative Commons is available online at http://search.yahoo.com/cc. For more on this click here
