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.
