Creative Commons is a nonprofit organization that provides a suite of free legal tools for creators, educators, and institutions to share their work with clear permissions. It is for anyone who wants to publish content—from photos and music to academic research and educational materials—while allowing others to legally use, remix, and build upon it.

• Standardized Public Licenses: Offers a set of clear, legally sound copyright licenses that creators can apply to their work. These licenses replace the traditional "all rights reserved" with a more flexible "some rights reserved" model.
• License Chooser Tool: Provides an interactive online tool that helps users select the appropriate license for their needs by answering a few simple questions about the permissions they wish to grant.
• Public Domain Tools: Includes tools like CC0 ("CC Zero"), which allows creators to waive all copyright and related rights, effectively dedicating their work to the public domain for maximum reuse.
• Global Search and Discovery: Supports and promotes search engines and platforms that allow users to find images, articles, music, and other media that have been openly licensed for reuse in projects.
• Sustains a Shared Commons: The organization advocates for and supports a global ecosystem of shared knowledge and culture, enabling projects like Wikipedia, open educational resources, and open-access scientific research to thrive.
