(e.g. help by checking that the following have not changed their licensing policies, add more initiatives to the lists, and help structure the lists below into sensible sections)

Examples of libre communities

Working with libre knowledge and enabling people to exercise their freedom to learn and participate.

Pro-freedom

Pro-freedom[1] licences are copyleft, requiring that the freedoms be preserved in derived works (e.g. CC BY-SA).

  • Please add ...

Pro-choice

Pro-choice[1] licences are libre licences which permit users to create (or mix them into) non-libre derivatives (e.g. CC BY).

Mixed

The site shares knowledge and cultural works under various licences, some libre, some non-libre.

  • ourproject.org - Free Software and Free Knowledge for a Free Society (Projects are released under their respective licenses; Except where otherwise noted, the rest is CC BY-SA).

...

Libre by name but sharing non-libre knowledge

  • libre-software.net - although the knowledge concerns libre software, the knowledge shared is non-libre (CC BY-NC-SA).

Lists

The following lists mostly include libre resources (not checked in detail):

Etc.

  • Hipatia - "promote freedom of (and free sharing of) knowledge, as is the right of all human beings to access, use, create, modify and distribute knowledge freely and openly; ..."
  • Free software community

  1. 1.0 1.1 Sites which permit any libre license (CC BY, CC BY-SA, CC0) are classified under pro-choice (pro-freedom and pro-choice is effectively pro-choice at least on the part of the co-authors).
