Microsoft is using a Creative Commons license for a new spec it has created for sharing calendar data, contact lists, bookmarks, OPML files, and similar data sources in which users sometimes do and sometimes don't want to propagate their changes to willing others. For details see Ray Ozzie's blog posting, the CC blog posting, or the Microsoft FAQ.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
