What is Creative Commons?

Creative Commons helps you legally share your knowledge and creativity to build a more equitable, accessible, and innovative world. We unlock the full potential of the internet to drive a new era of development, growth and productivity.

With a network of staff, board, and affiliates around the world, Creative Commons provides free, easy-to-use copyright licenses to make a simple and standardised way to give the public permission to share and use your creative work–on conditions of your choice.

It was their biannual conference in order to:

(From https://summit.creativecommons.org) that this year had ~250 participants.

To define sharing and the Commons for our generation

What pressing challenges and/or threats does the Commons currently face?

What issues need the network’s focus and support in the next two years, particularly given our shift in focus toward meaningful human collaboration?

How do we strengthen, expand, and celebrate our ties to the creators of the culture that makes the Commons visible and real to people?

To shift the focus to people, moving beyond licenses to enhance collaboration and sharing

Shift to a truly networked and open collaborative model

Shift focus to people of the Commons over content of the Commons

Shift beyond license adoption to include Commons collaboration and sharing

To discuss the future of the Creative Commons network and grow the CC movement

We will discuss and reach consensus on the new network strategy and structure proposed by the Network Strategy Steering Committee

We will establish collaborative tracks that allow anyone to join the conversation

We will invite creators and users to actively participate and engage with issues that go beyond content licensing
