Open media

Open media refers to content—such as videos, music, articles, and images—that is freely accessible and often shared under licenses allowing anyone to use, modify, and distribute it. It promotes transparency, collaboration, and sharing of knowledge, enabling a broad audience to access information without restrictions. Examples include open-source software, Creative Commons-licensed materials, and public domain content. Open media fosters innovation and education by reducing barriers to information, encouraging community participation, and supporting the free exchange of ideas while respecting creators' rights through licensing.
