Thanks to everyone who sent comments and suggestions about the new (beta) Creative Commons (CC) license chooser.
I am forwarding all of your ideas and feedback to the CC team now. You can be sure your comments and ideas will be considered as CC rolls out v.1 of the new license chooser… and future versions if it. I’ll continue to come back to you all for feedback on CC tools, technology, and licenses (reminder to contribute to 4.0<http://wiki.creativecommons.org/4.0>discussions).
