Creative Commons:  Reasonable, Flexible Copyright Rules
Mr. Glenn Otis Brown, Executive Director, Creative Commons
From the Creative Commons website:  A single goal unites Creative Commons' current and future projects: to build a layer of reasonable, flexible copyright in the face of increasingly restrictive default rules.   Balance, compromise, and moderation - once the driving forces of a copyright system that valued innovation and protection equally - have become endangered species. Glenn Otis Brown has been Executive Director of Creative Commons since Summer 2002. Before that, he served as Assistant Director. Glenn is also a lecturer at Stanford Law School, where he teaches a class on  Creative Commons and free and open-source software licensing with Lawrence Lessig.
