Not so sure about that: the reason we care about open is because it
facilitates sharing and reuse (we're not into openness just for its
own sake).

At least regarding science I think the two orgs are even closer than
that (in fact CC may be even stronger on 'open' than OKFN in that, as
I understand it, CC's default position for science data is public
domain only).
