This wiki collects and catalogues the world's common content — 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 Use This Site
- Get Stuff without Paying for It: The majority of libre and common content works (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 common content licence, add an entry on it to the wiki. See the tutorial for assistance. Please also add information to existing entries.
