Creative Commons Polska
Initiated in 2005, since 2007 operates within ICM Warsaw
University. It promotes openess in Poland and encourages
the use of CC licenses – thanks to them 362 objects are now
available in Polish digital libraries under CC.
Librarians cooperate very close with this organization, take a
part in their conferences, advise each to the other on
copyright, implement joint projects, create common events
and prepare together a few recomendations for Polish
government.
Direct from this organization grew Digital Poland Project digital think & do tank fostering the digital dimension of public
issues. They support copyright law reform in our country and
open culture movement.
