Creative Commons is a non-profit organization dedicated to expanding the range of creative works available for others to legally build upon and share. It has offices in San Francisco, Berlin, and Johannesburg. Creative Commons develops standardized copyright licenses that creators can choose to apply to their works, labeling them for certain uses like non-commercial sharing and adaptation. Their goals are to promote a balanced copyright system and address issues around copyright and the Internet.
