The Wired CD — good music, and a great introduction to the Creative Commons licensing system

This month’s Wired Magazine came with a free CD.  No, its not an America Online CD.  Its an audio CD packed with 16 tracks carrying licenses from the Creative Commons allowing you to freely share and sample the music.

The article that accompanies the CD is an excellent introduction to the licensing system provided by the Creative Commons.  If you haven’t learned about the "some rights reserved" approach offered by the CC licenses, this article is a quick way to get up to speed.

And the music is great.  My favorite (currently) is Wadidyusay by Zap Mama.
