Signal vs. Noise is a blog run by the design gurus at 37 Signals, who strive for attractiveness and simplicity in all their designs. They have a regular feature where they ask their audience of designers to come up with ways to describe difficult concepts in 10 words or less. Today they decided to take a crack at helping come up with a simple, concise way to describe the Creative Commons.

So far, they’ve already come up with a few good slogans, but if you can think of a way to describe Creative Commons to folks that have never heard of it, in just a few words, be sure and post your ideas on the thread.
