Creative Commons License: A great suggestion for individual creators

I think Creative Commons License is a good idea. Basically, it is a proposed template of copyright licensing agreement for creators which is featured “some rights reserved” instead of traditional “all rights reserved.” It helps a creator such as a blogger to adopt a concise copyright license very easily through the “license your work” function provided for free on its website. If Creative Commons License is widely adopted among the creators who hesitate to consult a copyright lawyer but are eager to clarify his/her rights and obligations to their works, I think a sound common sense regarding copyright can be established more easily, and ultimately, it will improve the use and spread of human knowledge.
