National Innovation Review recommends Creative Commons


I haven't had a chance to read the whole thing as yet, but I did notice this:
Recommendation 7.8
Australian governments should adopt international standards of open publishing as far as possible. Material released for public information by Australian governments should be released under a creative commons licence.
Also worth noting, in the Overview it says:
Today innovation is understood to involve much more than the transmission of knowledge down the pipeline of production from research to development to application. In the age of the internet, with the opportunities for collaboration which it opens up, open innovation is increasingly important.
When I get a chance I will read the whole report and post. In the meantime, if you're looking for some bedtime reading, get stuck into the report, or if you're too lazy, you can just read the recommendations.
