The Web's Next Layer of Innovation: Q&A With Creative Commons CEO Joi Ito

,----[ Quote ]
| For me, now that all the technical layers 
| have become so easy and so low-cost and so 
| interoperable, the next layer that really 
| needs to be worked on is the legal layer. 
| So at Creative Commons I think we are 
| trying to solve a lot of those problems at 
| the legal layer. I think that things like 
| that friction are a part of that ecosystem. 
| Once those problems are solved and a lot of 
| that friction goes away, another explosion 
| of innovation is going to happen on top of 
| that, which I think will be good for 
| society, good for business, and good for 
| venture capitalists, and interesting too. 
| So that's what we are trying to do at 
| Creative Commons.

English was the first open source language

,----[ Quote ]
| Well before the Internet was a gleam in Al 
| Goreâs eye, even before Ada Lovelace 
| programmed Charles Babbageâs imaginary 
| Differential Engine, English had shown the 
| way toward an open source future.
