Overview
The Creative Commons and Open Licensing project exists to sustain open work by ensuring reliable funding for preservation, tooling, and education that makes shared knowledge possible. This initiative supports open licenses, community-driven standards, and the systems that help creators publish, remix, and distribute with confidence. By contributing, you help keep licensing transparent, accessible, and resilient for diverse creators around the world.
Open licensing powers collaboration across disciplines — from educators curating reusable lesson plans to researchers sharing datasets and software developers building interoperable tools. With ongoing support, the project can invest in clearer guidelines, better discovery, and inclusive participation that benefits everyone who relies on open knowledge.
