Open-source Licensing in Art

Open-source licensing in art is a way to share art work over the internet with controls set by the creator of the art. Open-source licensing allows the art to be accessible to everyone with little or no cost. In addition, it allows the art to be recreated or rearranged by new artists while still giving credit to the original creator. Websites like creativecommons.org give artists ways to open licenses their work and make it available to the public, thus making art an Information Commons.

Famous quotes containing the word art:

    Perhaps dirt is the necessary condition of beauty.... Perhaps hygiene and art can never be bedfellows. No Verdi, after all, without spitting into trumpets. No Duse without a crowd of malodorous bourgeois giving one another their coryzas. And think of the inexpugnable retreats for microbes prepared by Michelangelo in the curls of Moses’ beard!
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
