FOSsil Bank: A Catalogue of Shareable Resources and Libre Works

If the advertising annoys you, sign in to Wikidot and it goes away (or install Adblock Plus on Firefox).

This wiki collects and catalogues the world's shareable resources: works that can be copied and shared without breaking the law. Some of these works can be adapted and altered and some can be sold. Works that can be duplicated and adapted for profit or for free are called libre works and they are given special priority.

How to stay up-to-date with the FOSsil Bank

• This site has a web feed (RSS feed) of new pages added to this site. Get it here.
• Every few weeks I publish a FOSsil Bank update with all the new entries on the site. You can get it on the Libre blog (or via the Living Libre web feed), or by subscribing to the FOSsil Bank mailing list
  • Updates are also sent to these three mailing lists: OKFN Open Access mailing list, the Discuss Free Culture mailing list or the Redisters Google Group.

How To Use This Site

• Get Stuff without Paying for It: The majority of shareable resources (though not all of them) are available for free download.
• Get Stuff You Can Use: If you're writing a book, maybe you want to illustrate it. If you're composing a song, maybe you want another song to remix. Most of the things on this site can be shared and adapted non-commercially — many of them can be shared and adapted commercially. See Using This Stuff for more details.
• Contribute: If you find something under a shareable resource licence, add an entry on it to the wiki. See the tutorial for assistance. Please also add information to existing entries. There's also a list of jobs.
• Get in Touch: If you find a work that you can't or won't add to the wiki or if you have any comments to make, please enter them on our feedback form.

How Not To Use This Site

• This site is not an explanation of what libre is, why it matters or how to use it. For that, see Living Libre.
