We’ve just flipped the switch on a discussion area for public participation as part of our new project development process (image). We’re using mailing lists to facilitate the discussion of new license options, our International Commons project, and metadata strategies.

We kicked off the new model today with development of a sampling license, with discussion driven by Negativland, masters of the cultural remix and veteran dwellers of the fault lines between law and art. Join the effort.

We’ll roll out several other lists in the coming weeks.
