5. Top 10 Things We’ve Learned So Far (Sarah)
1. CC licensing doesn’t have much in common with the
sharing economy.
2. Using CC licensing requires a bit of a leap of faith.
3. Because using CC licensing requires a leap of faith,
there needs to be a deeper motivation behind the
decision than purely the quest to maximize profit.
4. An engaged community is always an important part
of successful business models built around CC
licensing.
5. CC licensing helps build community and inspire the
larger social mission around sharing.

6. Top 10 Things We’ve Learned So Far (Paul)
6. Maximize abundance – eliminate artificial scarcity.
7. Traditional market economics aren’t a good fit.
8. Crowd source & build community.
9. Gifts rather than commodities.
10.Use multiple means of open.
