Nonprofit Organizations (e.g., Creative Common)

Nonprofit organizations are entities that operate to serve a social, educational, charitable, or community purpose rather than to make profit. Their revenue is reinvested to achieve their mission, such as promoting education or protecting the environment. Creative Commons is an example of a nonprofit organization that provides free licensing tools, allowing creators to share their work legally and openly while maintaining certain rights. Overall, nonprofits focus on making a positive impact rather than generating profit for owners or shareholders.
