What is Creative Commons?

Creative Commons is a global network, working to mainstream open education and create a world with universal access to effective open educational resources (see creativecommons.org/about/program-areas). 

Over one billion Creative Commons licensed works exist across millions of websites. The majority are hosted on content platforms that provide Creative Commons license options for their users. Creative Commons platforms make it easy for users to discover and collaborate on images, video, music, research and educational texts. Content on these platforms is searchable and shareable across the web thanks to Creative Commons licenses.
