# Creative Commons
Creative Commons (CC) is the forefront [non-profit](non_profit.md) organization promoting [free culture](free_culture.md), i.e. basically relaxation of ["intellectual property"](intellectual_property.md) (such as [copyright](copyright.md)) in [art](art.md). One of the most important contributions of the organization are the widely used Creative Commons [licenses](license.md) which artists may use to make their works more legally free and even put them to the [public domain](public_domain.md).
Creative Commons (CC) is the forefront [non-profit](non_profit.md) organization promoting [free culture](free_culture.md), i.e. basically relaxation of ["intellectual property"](intellectual_property.md) (such as [copyright](copyright.md)) in [art](art.md). Inspired by [free software](free_software.md), it was established in 2001 as a reaction to increasing problems mainly with [copyright](copyright.md). One of the most important contributions of the organization are the widely used Creative Commons [licenses](license.md) which artists may use to make their works more legally free and even put them to the [public domain](public_domain.md).
Generally speaking Creative Commons brought a lot of good -- not only did it bring attention to the issues of "[intellectual property](intellectual_property.md)", it made a huge number of people and organizations actually relax or completely waive their rights on works they create. We, [LRS](lrs.md), especially appreciate the [CC0](cc0.md) public domain waiver that we prefer for our own works, like did many others, and other licenses such as CC BY-SA are still popular and better than "all rights reserved". However Creative Commons is still a big, centralized organization prone to corruption, it will most definitely suffer the same degeneration as any other organization in history, so don't get attached to it.
