Projects

Creative Commons actively develops the following software projects:

• ccLookup
• ccHost (ccMixter source code)
• Command Line Tools
• CcNutch

Code for our projects is hosted at Sourceforge.net or Berlios.de; see the Source Repository Policy for information on contributing code or starting a new project.

Supporting Projects

We also maintain several library projects which are reused in some of our applications:

• License Wrappers language-specific wrappers for representing and manipulating license information
• Creative Commons Web Services
• Web Services Client Implementations
• pyArchive
• Ajax License Chooser

Exploratory Projects

The projects below are currently being discussed or explored:

• Content Aggregation
• libcclicense - an abstract library for implementing license support (C-library)
• Dream CC Tool - A discussion of the "ideal" CC tool; possibly the successor to ccPublisher?
• Development Ideas - A collection of nascent ideas for CC-enabled tools. As these become more fleshed out, they'll be moved to their own pages.
