from cc-au list CC has launched a survey<http://v2.decipherinc.com/survey/mds/mds08002?list=2

to find out what non-commercial means - and it wants your input. The survey forms part of the larger study into the definition non- commercial<http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/9557> that CC announced a while ago. With the growing use of the 'non-commercial' term in online licences (and not just CC licences - it's even on the PM's website<http://www.pm.gov.au/copyright.cfm>), it's becoming more and more important to try to pin down a common understanding of exactly what it means. So CC is asking its community to help out by taking a few minutes to responding to this questionnaire<http://v2.decipherinc.com/survey/mds/mds08002?list=2 on the topic. All responses are anonymous, and no personal data is collected. The questionnaire will stay up til 7 December. If you have any questions, you can email them to noncommercial at creativecommons.org. If you've always wanted to have your say on one of the hottest issues facing the free culture and web 2.0 communities, now's your chance.
