The day dawned early and cool on 26 September for iCommons staff having promised to meet one another at the office at 7am to help carry equipment down to the Rosebank Shopping Mall where our scanning station was going to be set up.

The free Google Trends tool offers many possibilities. Let's compare the related concepts that concern us all at iCommons. What do we see when facing off "open source," "copyright," "Creative Commons," "open access" and "copyleft"? Googlers go for "open source" followed by "copyright."

The photo is in Mariacecita´s Flickr gallery licensed under a Creative Commons (Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 2.0 licence) and was included in one of the newspaper´s journals. The original photo was edited...
