About
Photo by Makon Makoisia Herkkuja. Licenced under Creative Commons Attribution 2.0The Cloudberry Project brings Creative Commoners from the Nordic countries together. We're a collaboration between the Creative Commons groups in Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and the Faroe Islands and work together with the aim to increase the use of Creative Commons in the Nordic countries.
What is Creative Commons?
Formally, Creative Commons is a non-profit organisation in the US, and a set of licences intended to offer the recipient of a cultural work more freedoms than traditional copyright. In the Cloudberry Project, we don't spend so much time on the technical or legal aspects though. What's more important is that by using Creative Commons, creators can encourage and engage in a wider use and distribution of their works.
