Creative Commons addresses problems and possibilities of the classic copyright in the digital era. All phases and steps in a design process that are not the physical making nor software can be covered in an open fashion by Creative Commons licences. All parts that can be regarded content – from the first sketch on a napkin until the final CAD file – can be released under four conditions to be recombined in six different licences.
