What is Creative Commons?
- Creative Commons (CC) is a non-profit organization devoted to expanding the range of creative work available for others legally to build upon and share.
- Creative Commons website enables copyright holders to grant some of their rights to the public while retaining others through a variety of licensing and contract schemes including dedication to the public domain or open content licensing terms. The intention is to avoid the problems current copyright laws create for the sharing of information.
What is the aim of Creative Commons?
- To counter the effects of the dominant and increasingly restrictive permission culture pervading modern society
- A culture pressed hard upon society by traditional content distributors in order to maintain and strengthen their monopolies on cultural products such as popular music and popular cinema.
Who will use Creative Commons?
- Individuals and organisations have made use of the Creative Commons licences already. Organisations such as OpenContent in the USA have been promoting the release of educational materials under open licences since the late 1990s. OpenContent had even produced their own Open Publication License. Educational establishments such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Carnegie Mellon University and The Open University in the UK have released learning materials under Creative Commons licences. In May 2004 the BBC announced that it intended to make much material from its archives available under an open licence. This project, called the BBC Creative Archive, launched in early 2005 with a licence modelled very closely on the Creative Commons licence (the BBC argue that they are obliged to impose additional restrictions, such as clearly stating that they do not endorse adapted versions of their material).
