Christian Heilmann discusses his experiences with Creative Commons licensing and how it benefits creators. He has published books and articles, conducted workshops, and released scripts and products for free under CC licenses. This allowed others to build upon his work while still giving him credit. It also avoided issues like people changing his code without fixing bugs or repeatedly rewriting commissioned articles. CC licensing has financially benefited Heilmann by bringing in ad revenue from freely distributed content. He encourages others to similarly use CC-licensed content from Flickr, video sites, and more to build upon the work of others.
