About Creative Commons

What is Creative Commons?

Creative Commons is a nonprofit organization that enables the sharing and use of creativity and knowledge through free legal tools.

They provide free copyright licenses that provide a standardized way to give the public permission to share and use your creative work — on conditions of your choice. CC licenses let you easily change your copyright terms from the default of “all rights reserved” to “some rights reserved.”

Speaker details

Anyone in the Triangle using Creative Commons in an interesting way for business or pleasure is welcome to give a 5-minute lightning talk. Traditional Ignite-style talks are 20 slides in 5 minutes (auto-advancing every 15 seconds). We're flexible on the slides and could trim them down to 15 slides (auto-advancing every 20 seconds) or 10 slides auto-advancing every 30 seconds), if needed.
