'''Free content''', or '''free information''', is any kind of [[functional work]], [[Work of art|artwork]], or other creative [[Content (media and publishing)|content]] having no significant legal restriction relative to people's freedom to use, redistribute, and produce modified versions of and works derived from the content.{{Specify|date=February 2008}} |
|||
Free content encompasses all works in the [[public domain]] and also those [[copyright]]ed works whose [[license]]s honor and uphold the freedoms mentioned above. Because the law by default grants copyright holders [[monopoly|monopolistic control]] over their creations, copyrighted content must be explicitly declared free, usually by the referencing or inclusion of licensing statements from within the work. |
|||
Though a work which is in the public domain because its copyright has expired is considered free, it can easily become non-free again with all its derivatives becoming non-free or illegal,{{Fact|date=March 2008}} if the copyright law changes. |
|||
A work released as public domain by its author is free and non-[[copyleft]]. |
