This isn't exactly new, but apparently it's news. A popular rapper, Chuck D, has decided to release an album under a Creative Commons license, which specifically gives people permission to reuse the work in other works. He's doing it because of the results he got from a song he released several months ago under the license. Read more at MSNBC - Rewriting the rules of copyright.

Customer Feedback

If you are a user of business software and are interested in finding out more about open source options for your business or office, you may be a little bit frustrated about the lack of introductory-level information on this topic...

The best single source of such information that I have found so far is John Locke's "Open Source Solutions for Small Business Problems." It provides an excellent introduction to the concepts, advantages, and disadvantages behind open-source.
