Creative Commons is a nonprofit organization that provides a set of free, public copyright licenses. These tools are for creators, educators, and institutions who want to grant specific permissions for others to use their work while retaining their own copyright. It enables a shared pool of knowledge and culture that anyone can build upon.

• Standardized Legal Licenses: Offers a simple, standardized way to grant permissions like sharing, remixing, and commercial use, replacing the need for individual legal agreements.
• Public Domain Tools: Provides legal instruments like CC0 to dedicate works to the public domain, maximizing reuse without restriction.
• Global Adoption: Its licenses are a trusted, international standard used by millions, from individual artists to major platforms like Wikipedia, Flickr, and Khan Academy.
• Support and Education: Offers training, legal guidance, and community programs to help organizations and individuals effectively use and contribute to open knowledge.
• Advocacy and Stewardship: Actively works to protect and expand the shared commons, including addressing modern challenges like ethical AI development that relies on open resources.
