This is a email I received from Jordon Hatcher of Open Content Lawyer, I
thought it might be of interest to some people on the list.

**New survey on open content licences**
==Use of open content licences by cultural heritage organisations==
The Eduserv Foundation is funding a study into the use of Creative
Archive, Creative Commons and similar open content licences by cultural
heritage organisations in the United Kingdom. The study is being led by
legal consultant Jordan Hatcher of opencontentlawyer.com. The survey is
available here:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=L3x_2b1lQJxqu7KdfK587AeA_3d_3d
This survey is open to UK-based cultural heritage organisations such as
museums, libraries, galleries, archives, film and video organisations,
broadcasters, and other organisations that conduct cultural heritage
activities.
The goal of this study is to provide information on the actual use of
Creative Archive, Creative Commons, and similar licences. This
information will be useful to decision makers and interested
professionals in the cultural heritage sector, and for local and
national government and the HE and FE sector. The study will be
conducted from now through to the middle of September and a report will
be made available in October.
If you are a member of a cultural heritage organisation, whether or not
you currently use Creative Commons or Creative Archive licences (or even
know what they are!), your participation is needed to make this study a
success.
Again, the survey is available at:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=L3x_2b1lQJxqu7KdfK587AeA_3d_3d
==iPod Shuffle giveaway==
As a bonus for completing the survey, respondents will get the chance to
enter a drawer to win one of three iPod Shuffles that come pre-loaded
with music! See the survey for full details.
==Blog and email -- Please help spread the word==
We would appreciate it very much if you could help publicise this survey
by blogging about it or forwarding this email to people who you think
might be interested.
