modify and improve creative works of authorship. Copyleft (as a general
term) describes any method that utilizes the copyright system to achieve the
aforementioned goal. Copyleft as a concept is usually implemented in the
details of a specific copyright license, such as the GNU
[General Public License (GPL)](http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html) and the

## What is copyleft.org?
copyleft.org is a collaborative project to create and disseminate useful
information, tutorial material, and new policy ideas regarding all forms of
copyleft licensing.
This site itself is licensed under a copyleft license, and has received
contributions from experts around the world. Thus, copyleft.org is the
premier "meta-project" of copyleft: it's useful copylefted information all
about copyleft itself!

various copyleft licenses, and gives examples and case studies of copyleft compliance situations.

copyleft.org website is a wiki, and we welcome helpful edits and additions.
