Over the summer Creative Commons had the good fortune to participate in the Google Summer of Code. One of our students, Cassio Melo, worked on developing an add-in for OpenOffice.org, similar to the one that existed for Microsoft Office.

Today I’m pleased to announce the fruits of Cassio’s efforts. We’re releasing a beta release of the add-in which allows you to select and embed a license in Writer, Calc and Impress documents (press release). You can find download information as well as a screencast of the add-in in action on the wiki.

Thanks to Cassio for his hard work, as well as Google for supporting open source development.
