[okfn-discuss] A book on open business models by Creative Commons

Tue Jul 28 03:42:22 UTC 2015

Dear all,

Creative Commons has started an interesting project proposal at
Kickstarter, Made with Creative Commons: A book on open business models
<https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/creativecommons/made-with-creative-commons-a-book-on-open-business>.
The book will be under a license compatible with the Open Definition,
CC-by-SA.

*Project description*
With your help, we are going to identify and select a diverse group of two
dozen businesses, creators, and organizations from around the world
succeeding with business models made with Creative Commons. Then we're
going to dig deep into how they work to show how using Creative Commons can
produce economic and social value.

Our goal is not to identify a formula for business models that utilize CC,
but instead to gather fresh ideas and dynamic examples that will help spark
new, innovative models that build on what is already working.

We want to spread this knowledge far and wide to inspire others to use what
works for them. At the end of the process, we'll publish an ebook that puts
together everything we learn and create an interactive online tool to help
others build their own CC-made business models.

*Goal*
50,000 USD

*Days left from today*16

Please, share
