Yes, but FC doesn't *just* mean remix culture. It also represents the ability to share and copy and redistribute. CC certainly isn't using the logo to mean those things. Maybe the conclusion is that the current FC logo doesn't communicate anything other than remix and so CC is right to use it in that limited way. If it's supposed to communicate more, maybe CC is using it incorrectly. If it's not supposed to communicate more, maybe it's suboptimal that the FC logo only reflects a subset of things that FC is supposed to be. Or maybe it's either of those and I'm just the only one who really cares. :) > a) I didnt realize Mako Hill is in FreeCulture I've been hanging around Harvard Free Culture off and on, but mostly off, for the last year and a half.
