This document summarizes a presentation about leveraging Archive.org and Creative Commons for public, educational, and government (PEG) licensing. It introduces Creative Commons as a nonprofit that provides legal and technical tools to allow for some or no copyright restrictions. It also discusses how open licensing policies can be determined by copyright holders, institutions, funders, or default public policy, and notes the trend of publicly funded research and cultural works being made freely accessible.

“The principle that the results of
research that has been publicly
funded should be freely accessible
in the public domain is a compelling
one, and fundamentally
unanswerable.”
