Creative Commons Fund Raiser
Speaking of asking for help, the Creative Commons (CC), the needs your support. CC tries to bring "balance, compromise, and moderation" to the world of copyrights. To do this, they've created a set of licenses. These licenses provide you the opportunity to choose something between the extremes of everything is copyrighted and nothing is.
Their goal is to raise $225,000USD by December 31, 2005. As of last Friday, they only have $33,000. If you have $10 or $20, or more to spare, consider donating. Mahalo
Thanks to Professor Larry Lessig for the link and the short answer to what problem the Creative Commons tries to solve.
