Creative Commons

Creative Commons is an international nonprofit that designs flexible licensing tools enabling individuals and institutions to legally share knowledge, art, and cultural works across the globe. The organization has empowered billions of freely accessible resources—from Wikipedia's millions of articles to museum collections and scientific materials—by providing straightforward frameworks that balance creator rights with public access. For over two decades, Creative Commons has been the infrastructure behind the world's most significant open-sharing movement, helping democratize knowledge and fuel creativity across every continent.
