Edwards and Obama Request Creative Commons licensing for Democratic Debates

Lawyer, academic, and Creative Commons founder Larry Lessig posts Obama's request to the DNC for public domain/CC licensing for the debates, then posts John Edwards' letter roughly 12-hours later.

UPDATE: BoingBoing blogged on the decision that "CNN debate coverage will be made available without restrictions at the conclusion of each live debate." No word yet as to what video file formats they're planning on using.
