Oh, yes. And that is why, even if Larry professes to be a pessimist, the goodwill and good example engendered by CC is infectious. Similarly to Open Source licenses and practices, regardless of how many Ballmers keep calling it a cancer.

At which point it occurs to me that, at the same time, to you as a VC, it must be rather delicate a position, once you can’t clamor for patent-this, patent-that in the software world at least. It’d be so refreshing to see more widespread FSF assignment practices of broad patents, Accelerando-like.

As for the annoying pop-up in searches…. well, heh, at least I don’t pop up on all your blog posts….. yet…

Perhaps it is part of a strange penance by Google to counter their hypocrisy in defining evil…
