Hello Blogger,
I'm the CEO of Creative Commons, and I'm writing first to thank you,
and second to ask two favors.
First, the thanks:
Our bots report that you're using a Creative Commons license on your
blog. (Though we found your email address the old fashioned way -- by
coming to your site and looking!) Thank you for that. Bloggers have
been the most important community in spreading the idea and ethic of
CC licenses. They remain a core community for us. By allowing our
licenses to express the freedoms you believe your work should carry,
you have helped us enormously in our effort to build a movement that
will make expressing freedom as easy as it is now to express control.
Thank you for that -- again.
Now for the favors:
First, we have just launched a campaign to gather feedback from those
who use our licenses about how we might do our job better. I would be
grateful if you could take a couple minutes to complete the survey
below. Based on the replies, we hope to make the CC infrastructure
better tuned for your work. You can get the survey at the link below,
but please don't blog the link, as we'd like to keep the input
narrowed to bloggers.

Second, we have also just launched a widget campaign to help us in our
annual funding drive. We'd be really grateful if you could spare some
space to host one of our widgets. You can find the widget here:

Thank you again for using our licenses. And please let me know if
there are other questions we can answer.
Lawrence Lessig
