Case Studies

Welcome to the Creative Commons Case Studies project!

This is the home of the project that looks at building clear high-level use cases of Creative Commons internationally. The project is initiated along with Creative Commons Australia. Our goal is to create a community-powered system for qualitatively measuring the impact of Creative Commons around the world.
