New Creative Commons License; Free Federal Case Law
Lexis-Nexis and Westlaw may be facing some disruptive price competition. Along with a new Creative Commons license, an archive of federal case law will be released into the public domain:
CC-0 is a brand new Creative Commons license, whose official launch is expected in December, that signals the absence of any copyright or related rights associated with a work. The creation of CC-0 is heralded by the release into the public domain of a free archive of federal case law, including all Courts of Appeals decisions from 1950 to the present and all Supreme Court decisions since 1754, through Carl Malamud’s Public.Resource.Org.

All Supreme Court decisions since 1754? That is a very impressive archive.
