What is surprising about that? They give money to the Apache Foundation
as well. Anything that doesn't threaten their interests. Microsoft are a
proprietary software company. Neither CC nor permissive licensing
threatens their ability to remove people's freedom to use software.

But you'll notice they don't support the FSF.

What *would* be surprising would be if News Corp. supported CC...

- Rob (who gives both CC and the FSF money each month).
