Creative Commons and Microsoft

Microsoft has now made it ridiculously easy for anyone to adopt a Creative Commons license in connection with material created using Microsoft tools.  Choose from a menu, and presto! one of those cool Creative Commons buttons will attach itself to your stuff.

Good for Microsoft.  I think this is a very positive, helpful, and creative thing to do.  If you want people to be able to use your material, they've made it simple for you to make that declaration.  And good for Creative Commons, a worldwide movement that is contributing daily to the public domain.

Press release is here — early CNET article is here.

Update:  Download of the plug-in is here.
