[Foundation-l] Creative Commons identifies "Free Cultural Works" approved licenses

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
I have at the moment a green and a blue T-shirt that stands for particular
CC licenses. They also have a circle with the logo for the license in it.
The green one has a circle with the little man inside it, the blue one has a
circle with the equal sign.
Thanks,
    GerardM

PS I used to have many T-shirts for the jogging I did. Now I am getting more
and more T-shirts for the good causes that gave me their T-shirt.
