Youtube Now Offers CC License

A new feature popped up on Youtube yesterday when it inadvertently launched a licensing option for videos. Uploaders can now release their videos under a Creative Commons license.

A CC license gives creators the ability to grant permission to the end user to do certain things with the video (copy, distribute, edit, etc). The license itself isn’t a big deal. You’ve always had the legal option of releasing your videos under a CC license; I know several people and companies who have done so.
