ensure that ugc on whitehouse.gov uses creative commons
information and content that is created by the government is generally made available in the public domain for people to legally share and build upon. along with the works that are published online by the government, there should be a web platform for citizens to publish their own ideas and material that they have created that might be useful in helping to solve social problems. this platform should offer creative commons licenses to users, so that the content that they upload can be legally shared and built upon by both the government and members of the private sector.

I'm completely for the idea of government created (taxpayer funded) intellectual property being returned to the public domain-- where it was not too many years ago. The idea seems diluted a bit by the creation of a web site to host ideas. There are plenty of places for that to occur now-- we don't need a .gov site.
