If you've ever yearned to mash up your cat video with some C-SPAN footage but couldn't figure out how, today's your lucky day. Because starting now, YouTube is giving users a choice over how they want to license their content. There's still the standard YouTube license, which is fairly restrictive, and now there's a new option: Creative Commons (with attribution). In short, you can now give other people permission to use your footage however they'd like, provided to include a link back to the source. Licenses are tricky business (there are six different Creative Common licenses) but YouTube is hoping to reduce confusion by limiting users to one option, which requires attribution and does allow for content to be used for commercial purposes.
