Opening the Government, Starting with the Transition [1]
I’m a signer of a letter on a new site called “An Open Transition [2],” where a group of folks led by Larry Lessig [3]:
- celebrates the incoming administration’s decision to put a Creative Commons [4] license on its Change.Gov [5] transition website, thereby allowing anyone to share, remix and otherwise reuse and copy the material there;
- and asks that this philosophy be extended widely in the new administration, and around the government in general.
Politico has a short story on this here [6].
