Who is Creative Commons Man and what is he doing on my web site? Primarily, he's here because I couldn't find a graphic for a Creative Commons Woman. But he's also here because sharing creative works with a Creative Commons license allows creators of original works to reserve some rights over their works while allowing others to share, remix, and reuse the works legally. For example, the design of this web page is based on a template from Free CSS Templates. It was released under a Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 License. The license for Creative Commons Man alows others to adapt and remix the work (I changed its size and added the shadow.) with the understanding that the creator of the modified work will "share and share alike."
