0 summary this document defines free cultural works as works or expressions which can be freely studied applied copied and or modified by anyone for any purpose it also describes certain permissible restrictions that respect or protect these essential freedoms the definition distinguishes between free works and free licenses which can be used to legally protect the status of a free work the definition itself is not a license it is a tool to determine whether a work or license should be considered free preamble social and technological advances make it possible for a growing part of humanity to access create modify publish and distribute various kinds of works artworks scientific and educational materials software articles in short anything that can be represented in digital form many communities have formed to exercise those new possibilities and create a wealth of collectively re usable works most authors whatever their field of activity whatever their amateur or professional status have a genuine interest in favoring an ecosystem where works can be spread re used and derived in creative ways the easier it is to re use and derive works the richer our cultures become to ensure the graceful functioning of this ecosystem works of authorship should be free and by freedom we mean the freedom to use the work and enjoy the benefits of using it the freedom to study the work and to apply knowledge acquired from it the freedom to make and redistribute copies in whole or in part of the information or expression the freedom to make changes and improvements and to distribute derivative works if authors do not take action their works are covered by existing copyright laws which severely limit what others can and cannot do authors can make their works free by choosing among a number of legal documents known as licenses for an author choosing to put their work under a free license does not mean that they lose all their rights but it gives to anyone the freedoms listed above it is important that any work that claims to be free provides practically and without any risk the aforementioned freedoms this is why we hereafter give a precise definition of freedom for licenses and for works of authorship identifying free cultural works this is the definition of free cultural works and when describing your work we encourage you to make reference to this definition as in this is a freely licensed work as explained in the definition of free cultural works if you do not like the term free cultural work you can use the generic term free content or refer instead to one of the existing movements that express similar freedoms in more specific contexts we also encourage you to use the free cultural works logos and buttons which are in the public domain please be advised that such identification does not actually confer the rights described in this definition for your work to be truly free it must use one of the free culture licenses or be in the public domain we discourage you to use other terms to identify free cultural works which do not convey a clear definition of freedom such as open content and open access these terms are often used to refer to content which is available under less restrictive terms than those of existing copyright laws or even for works that are just available on the web defining free culture licenses licenses are legal instruments through which the owner of certain legal rights may transfer these rights to third parties free culture licenses do not take any rights away they are always optional to accept and if accepted they grant freedoms which copyright law alone does not provide when accepted they never limit or reduce existing exemptions in copyright laws essential freedoms in order to be recognized as free under this definition a license must grant the following freedoms without limitation the freedom to use and perform the work the licensee must be allowed to make any use private or public of the work for kinds of works where it is relevant this freedom should include all derived uses related rights such as performing or interpreting the work there must be no exception regarding for example political or religious considerations the freedom to study the work and apply the information the licensee must be allowed to examine the work and to use the knowledge gained from the work in any way the license may not for example restrict reverse engineering the freedom to redistribute copies copies may be sold swapped or given away for free as part of a larger work a collection or independently there must be no limit on the amount of information that can be copied there must also not be any limit on who can copy the information or on where the information can be copied the freedom to distribute derivative works in order to give everyone the ability to improve upon a work the license must not limit the freedom to distribute a modified version or for physical works a work somehow derived from the original regardless of the intent and purpose of such modifications however some restrictions may be applied to protect these essential freedoms or the attribution of authors see below permissible restrictions not all restrictions on the use or distribution of works impede essential freedoms in particular requirements for attribution for symmetric collaboration i e copyleft and for the protection of essential freedom are considered permissible restrictions defining free cultural works in order to be considered free a work must be covered by a free culture license or its legal status must provide the same essential freedoms enumerated above it is not however a sufficient condition indeed a specific work may be non free in other ways that restrict the essential freedoms these are the additional conditions in order for a work to be considered free availability of source data where a final work has been obtained through the compilation or processing of a source file or multiple source files all underlying source data should be available alongside the work itself under the same conditions this can be the score of a musical composition the models used in a 3d scene the data of a scientific publication the source code of a computer application or any other such information use of a free format for digital files the format in which the work is made available should not be protected by patents unless a world wide unlimited and irrevocable royalty free grant is given to make use of the patented technology while non free formats may sometimes be used for practical reasons a free format copy must be available for the work to be considered free no technical restrictions the work must be available in a form where no technical measures are used to limit the freedoms enumerated above no other restrictions or limitations the work itself must not be covered by legal restrictions patents contracts etc or limitations such as privacy rights which would impede the freedoms enumerated above a work may make use of existing legal exemptions to copyright in order to cite copyrighted works though only the portions of it which are unambiguously free constitute a free work in other words whenever the user of a work cannot legally or practically exercise his or her basic freedoms the work cannot be considered and should not be called free further
