Open licences: Creative Commons
Creative Commons, the organisation, was founded in 2001 to promote global collaboration by empowering creators to share their works more openly, counteract restrictive copyright norms, and help build a thriving commons of shared knowledge and culture.
The Creative Commons (CC) licences are a series of free, standardised public licences that enable creators to retain their copyright while allowing others to revise, reuse and build upon their works.
