Melissa from the [Creative Commons](https://www.creativecommons.org/) pointed me to the [rather good news](https://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/19086) that Canonical’s offer to match Creative Commons donations up to $3000 has already been matched:

> [Just five days ago we announced](https://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/18952) that [Canonical](https://www.canonical.com/) would be generously matching every donation dollar for dollar for the next week – up to $3,000. Well, we met that goal in record time! Thanks to everyone who donated in the past five days and had your donation doubled – for a total of $6,000 going toward our annual campaign to sustain CC!

> Many thanks to Canonical for their ongoing support of free culture and Creative Commons.

> We still have a long way to go to reach our $500,000 goal for this year’s campaign, so please [donate today](https://support.creativecommons.org/donate) and show your support for a culture of sharing!

Thanks to everyone who donated, and if you haven’t donated yet, go and [contribute](https://support.creativecommons.org/donate)!
