The Institute of Information Science at Academia Sinica is the major force behind efforts to popularize CC licensing in Taiwan. Chuang Tyng-ruey, deputy director of the institute, states that using a CC license does not mean that copyright is being relinquished, but rather gives the author control over how his work is licensed, while allowing a degree of communal ownership.
中研院資訊所則是台灣推動 CC 運動的主力，副所長莊庭瑞表示，使用 CC 授權不代表放棄著作權，而是讓著作權人藉由控制作品的授權方式，使其作品能維持一定的「公共」性質。
