Why not use Creative Commons?

* We do not directly earn an income through Creative Commons...

* But using it does not hurt us and we know the community will profit.

3. Generating Income

Generating an income

* On our ads revenue sites, we earn the same with Ads with or without using CC.

* Byuing books licensed under CC makes sense to many customers.

* There are many indirect benefits like opportunities to co-work with individuals and companies on projects to a mutual benefit.

* Creative Commons is a setting to facilitate cooperation in the content production sector.

4. Outlook and Goals

Outlook and Goals

* To foster the Open Content community and increase usage of CC among partners and clients

* To expand business activities around Open Content and publish more materials and books in cooperation with new
and existing projects under CC.

* To highlight CC through events and campaigns, e.g. photo competitions like Advancing Vietnam featuring people and ideas advancing Vietnam

Better Together.

* Please visit us in the Mekong Delta, Ho Chi Minh City or Cantho.
* We offer every contributor to Open Source and Open Content a place in our new office, free Internet connection and unlimited Vietnamese coffee for the time of their visit!
