Abstract
Dr Tobias Schonwetter, the legal lead of Creative Commons South Africa, discussed the impact of the Creative Commons licenses on Open Access and what Creative Commons is doing to build an ecosystem of openness. Creative Commons licences are arguably the most widely used open licences available for literary and musical works. Through a series of different licences, Creative Commons licences allow content creators to keep or give away a variety of rights under copyright law.
