A Small Exercise:
Using CC Taiwan as an Example

• CC Taiwan has been hosted in the Institute of
Information Science, Academia Sinica.
– Supports from Academia Sinica: Space, funding,
and legality (e.g., MOU & grants) .
– New host: Research Center for Information
Technology Innovation, Academia Sinica.
• Focuses of CC Taiwan: License porting,
outreach, best practices (especially for
government agency and program).
• Issues: “Social services” in a research
institute; limited on progressive actions;
project organization itself.
