5/ The CC licenses are key to protecting a healthy public commons. 💚 They help us open up knowledge and inspire creativity, and we need to do both of those things to have any chance at addressing the world’s most pressing challenges. #BetterSharing

4/ Many creators selling NFTs are using CC licenses — some even dedicating their work to the #PublicDomain! The CC licenses are core infrastructure for new and longstanding technology. We have to take care of them. 🙌 #BetterSharing

3/ 👀 Despite their impact, the CC licenses have been difficult to fundraise for! 🤔 We understand why. New & innovative projects are often more exciting. But even emerging technologies, like #AI, the #DecentralizedWeb & #NFTs, rely on earlier ideas, tools and infrastructure.

2/ The CC license suite has had a big impact in the 20 years since it launched!🌍 Today, they’re a global standard and power open sharing on popular platforms like

4/ 4️⃣ CC licenses have become the global standard for sharing open content in the last 20 years. We need to continue this impact in this emerging age of artificial intelligence, big data, and web3 to bring about positive change in our world. #BetterSharing

3/ 3️⃣ CC should publicize and promote our work more, so that we can reach more people and help expand the open commons of knowledge and culture. #BetterSharing

2/ 1️⃣ CC's shift from sharing for sharing's sake to #BetterSharing helps us find a balance between sharing in the public interest & sharing that is not. 2️⃣ Now more than ever, we need public investment in the digital public infrastructure & goods that underpin the open commons.
