Creative Commons is a nonprofit organization that provides a set of free, public copyright licenses and tools. These resources are for creators, educators, institutions, and anyone who wants to share their creative or academic work while retaining certain rights, enabling a global ecosystem of shared knowledge and culture.

License Chooser: A straightforward tool that guides users through selecting the appropriate license for their needs, from allowing any use with attribution to prohibiting commercial use or modifications.

Public Domain Tools: Offers legal tools like CC0 ("No Rights Reserved") to waive copyright and dedicate works to the public domain, and the Public Domain Mark to identify works already free of known copyright restrictions.

Search and Discovery: Provides access to search engines and platforms that help users find openly licensed images, music, video, and educational materials for safe reuse and remixing.

Legal and Technical Infrastructure: Develops and maintains the legal and technical frameworks that ensure the licenses are globally recognized, legally robust, and easily understood by both humans and machines.

Community and Advocacy: Supports a global community and movement focused on open access, providing resources, expertise, and advocacy to promote better sharing practices across culture, education, and science.
