Announcement
Based on recommendations from Charlie and Clancy, Kairos is pleased soon to offer publishing with a CC license as an option for all authors who so choose.
This decision reflects an extending of Kairos' mission to include making scholarly knowledge accessible and portable and an explicit acknowledgement by Kairos of the important shifts ongoing on the intellectual property landscape. We believe that this decision reflects an important trend in scholarly publishing in the humanities, and we are eager to provide our authors with the best options for publishing their work with us.
We thank everyone here at Kairosnews for your many excellent discussions about intellectual property, and we look forward to continuing to talk and work with all of you as everything continues to evolve.

Good news
This is great news. I'm sure this will have far-reaching benefits for Kairos and the authors who choose the license.
Way to go, Charlie and Clancy!
Lore too, I hope
I don't want to jinx it, but signs point to yes that I'll be able to use a CC license for a brief essay I wrote for Lore in response to this CFP. Lore already has a progressive copyright policy, but I want to copyleft my essay if I can; plus, if it's affiliated with Creative Commons with a link to their site, maybe it would be indexed in the CC search engine...but I'm not sure. I don't know if sites have to have RSS feeds in order to be integrated with the search engine.
