Spreading the Movement: Day 2 highlights from Toronto Creative Commons Summit
Day 2 brought a crucial discussion about the struggle to spread the commons movement; the movement is building, but is still culturally marginal to mainstream property traditions.Two problems dominated audience contributions to the conversation: a continuing ignorance, often poverty related, of creative commons licensing options, and the
