Commitment
Creative Commons (CC) makes it simple for everyone to share knowledge to address the world’s pressing challenges. We created and steward the “global standard” open license suite and public domain tools the world uses to share education, science, research, data and culture. By helping people and organizations share knowledge and creativity, we build a more equitable, accessible, and innovative world.
As the world’s leading organization providing the legal infrastructure for sharing open educational resources (OER), CC plays a critical role in addressing the COVID-19 education crisis and can help governments and other institutions strengthen learning systems for the future.
