For all those of you who dont know Creative Commons is a content licensing system that gives copyright owners the option to reserve only some of their rights. The organization was founded in 2002 by Lawrence Lessig, a law professor at Stanford University, to make more creative work available legally to others to share and build on.

So inorder to promote Creative Commons the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay is setting up a chapter of Creative Commons for providing easier access to educational and other content.

The Indian chapter of Creative Commons will be formally launched on Friday at the IIT Bombay campus in Mumbai with Joichi Ito, chairman of the Creative Commons, delivering one of the keynotes.

Well something like creative commons is likely to become the norm in India as well with the huge amount of web content thats being generated.
