Creative Commons: Code goes Wiki

Lessig Lawrence Lessig is going to be updating his book Code and other laws of Cyberspace:

Beginning in February, we’ll be posting Version 1 of Code to a Wiki. “Chapter Captains” will then supervise updates and corrections. Depending upon the progress, sometime near June, I will take the product and edit and rewrite it to produce Code, v2. The Wiki will stay live forever (under a Creative Commons license). The edited book will be published in the fall. I have donated my advance for Code, v2 to Creative Commons. All royalties beyond the advance will be donated as well.

I’m guessing the site will go online at the current homepage. Lessig’s newest book, Free Culture is currently also available in wiki form, although this has been done with his cooperation.

Also there’s a nice video about the Creative Commons going to Brazil. Features interviews with Gilberto Gil and others in Brazil as well as Creative Commons executives.

Finally, the launch ceremony of the Belgian CC Licences took place in the Bibliotheque Royale in Brussels on 10 December as part of the electronic music and free software festival Jonctions 8.
