CC Frequently Asked Questions

Creative Commons is a set of copyright licenses, a global movement, and a not-for-profit organization. Its principals are part of the “open movement” of openness, collaboration, and shared innovation. Its uses stretch from YouTube and Wikipedia to scientific research, open data, and scholarship.

Many individuals and institutions worldwide have joined the movement to remove barriers to information and freely share ideas. The open movement includes open access, open content, open education, open pedagogy, open innovation, open research, open data, open source, open science, and open licensing.

“Creative Commons has a formal CC Global Network, which includes lawyers, activists, scholars, artists, and more, all working on a wide range of projects and issues connected to sharing and collaboration” (Creative Commons, 2020, p. 8).
