It’s been picked up on Slashdot that Creative Commons (see the little tag at the bottom of the sidebar) are going to be launching a Science Commons initiative on January 1st 2005. I have way too much to do to take a proper look right now, but I think there’s just a collection of ideas right now around the possible application of the Creative Commons ideals to the scientific activity. However, it all adds momentum, and there looks to be some useful links.
