Dear all,
Creative Commons has started an interesting project proposal at Kickstarter, Made with Creative Commons: A book on open business models https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/creativecommons/made-with-creative-commons-a-book-on-open-business. The book will be under a license compatible with the Open Definition, CC-by-SA.
*Project description* With your help, we are going to identify and select a diverse group of two dozen businesses, creators, and organizations from around the world succeeding with business models made with Creative Commons. Then we're going to dig deep into how they work to show how using Creative Commons can produce economic and social value.
Our goal is not to identify a formula for business models that utilize CC, but instead to gather fresh ideas and dynamic examples that will help spark new, innovative models that build on what is already working.
We want to spread this knowledge far and wide to inspire others to use what works for them. At the end of the process, we'll publish an ebook that puts together everything we learn and create an interactive online tool to help others build their own CC-made business models.
*Goal* 50,000 USD
*Days left from today*16

I wanted to donate to that (after being encouraged to donate by a friend who had a birthday on Facebook), but I didn't find a way to donate using PayPal - only directly using a credit card. As a result, I ended up donating on creativecommons.org, but I'm not sure my donation will go to the book. I wonder if indiegogo has the same problem as Kickstarter from this respect or if it would have been a better choice.
