Made With Creative Commons

Beskrivelse

Made With Creative Commons dives into the world of sharing creative works like textbooks, music, art, and data through Creative Commons licenses. It explores how individuals and organizations openly share their work and still find ways to sustain themselves financially.

Discover how sharing creativity openly can be both rewarding and sustainable.

This book is all about the power of sharing. People, businesses, and organizations worldwide use Creative Commons licenses to encourage others to copy, reuse, and adapt their work. But giving away work for free raises a big question: how do creators make money? Made With Creative Commons answers this by presenting 24 detailed examples of different strategies to support your work while sharing it openly.

Part guide, part analysis, and part collection of real-world case studies, the book walks you through the shift from traditional “all-rights-reserved” models to open ones that invite collaboration and reuse. It explains the mindset change, the benefits, and the practical steps involved in going “open.”

Featuring stories from well-known projects and organizations like Arduino, Blender Institute, Cards Against Humanity, Cory Doctorow, Wikimedia Foundation, and many more, the book shows how sharing can be good for business-especially for those who value impact beyond just profits.

Filled with inspiring examples and practical advice, Made With Creative Commons reveals what sharing truly means and how it can positively influence both the economy and the world.
