According to the blog post of Creative Commons, “This gift–made in addition to the financial support that Google offers CC annually–will be used to support Creative Commons generally, with a focus on developing our Science Commons project, which Wojcicki and Brin are particularly excited about.”

Anne Wojcicki is the CEO of genetics start-up 23andme.

Creative Commons (CC) is a non-profit organization devoted to expanding the range of creative works available for others to build upon legally and to share.

The organization has issued several copyright-licenses known as Creative Commons licenses.

These licenses permit creators to communicate which rights they reserve, and which rights they waive for the benefit of recipients or other creators.
