CC OVERVIEW
We make sharing content easy, legal, and scalable. Why?
Traditional © was designed for old distribution models before the Internet. But now, it’s easier to create and share than ever before.
Legally, it’s not so easy. It’s confusing! CC makes it easy. With CC licenses, creators
can grant copy and reuse permissions in advance.
We offer six licenses and two public domain tools. We’re a nonprofit so all are free for you to use!
