Creative Commons Resources Directory

Not all of the sources below have one of the Creative Commons licenses described at CreativeCommons.org, but they all have similar licenses. These include fair use licenses and individual licenses described by the creators of the works. Please read the license for each work before using it.

This directory is certainly not comprehensive. Essentially anything that this is free for personal use has a license similar to the strictest Creative Commons license (attribution, non-commercial, no derivative works). That would be anything on this website or anything on the internet that is free to download. There are way too many sources to list.

Submissions to be included in this directory are accepted.
