Licensing petitions

This space is for listing people, organizations, and content collections that would be awesome to see under open licenses or in the public domain, either as an entire bundle of content or as a "token" open-content piece for publicity/encouragement reasons. It would likely make sense to work with creative commons groups on this list.

entire collections

This is for specific materials or bodies of content that would be great to have, and which we want to ask the current copyright holders to release into the public domain or under an open license.

• http://www.kunstderfuge.com (already free content, but need to pay to download - 50 euros. can we get a donation?)

• http://www.bartleby.com They take public domain material, post it on the web and apply a new copyright on the on-line edition.

publicity

This is for "famous" artists, authors, musicians, etc. who probably can't contribute their entire bodies of work, but who could bring a lot of great publicity to the project if they could release one or more works into the public domain.
