What is libre culture?

Libre culture is all about empowering people. While the general philosophy stems greatly from the free software movement, libre culture is much broader and encompasses other aspects of culture such as music, movies, food, technology, etc.

Some beliefs include but aren't limited to:

That copyright should expire after a certain period of time.
That knowledge should be available to people, not locked away.
That no entity should have unjust control or possession of others.
That mass surveillance is about mass control, not justice.
That we can all band together to help liberate each other.

Rules

I've looked into the ways other forums handle rules, and I've distilled their policies down into two simple ideas.

Please show common courtesy: Let's make this community one that people want to be a part of.
Please keep posts generally on topic
No NSFW content
When sharing a Libre project, please include the name of its license in the title. For example: “Project name and summary (GPL-3.0)”

Libre culture is a very very broad topic, and while it's perfectly okay for a conversation to stray, I do ask that we keep things generally on topic.

I aim to create a high-quality index of CC (Creative Commons) sites to make it easier for enthusiasts to access and use daily. My goal is to enhance content accessibility. I also plan to develop an Arabic version for Arabic resources and eventually expand to make it multilingual .

Here is my website link: https://crtv.pages.dev/

Please criticize and offer more resources as much as you can.

If you're looking for more sources for your site, Wikimedia Commons has a page with lists of sources for freely licensed media, sorted by content type. The photography list in particular is really long, and sorted into categories.
