Why not use Creative Commons?
* We do not directly earn an income through Creative
Commons...
* But using it does not hurt us and we know the community will
profit.
3. Generating Income
Generating an income
* On our ads revenue sites, we earn the same with Ads with or
without using CC.
* Byuing books licensed under CC makes sense to many customers.
* There are many indirect benefits like opportunities to co-work
with individuals and companies on projects to a mutual
benefit.
* Creative Commons is a setting to facilitate cooperation in the
content production sector.
4. Outlook and Goals
Outlook and Goals
* To foster the Open Content community and increase usage of CC
among partners and clients
* To expand business activities around Open Content and publish
more materials and books in cooperation with new
and existing projects under CC.
* To highlight CC through events and campaigns, e.g. photo
competitions like Advancing Vietnam featuring people and ideas
advancing Vietnam
Better Together.
