In December 2007, Mozilla decided to participate in Creative Commons' "5x5 Challenge." Beginning in 2008, we've pledged $100,000 per year for five years to support open licensing on the Web, developing hybrid organizations, and maturing the concept of the web as an ecology of shared ideas.

More Information
This grant program enables Mozilla and CC, two organizations with similar values and a vision of the web as an open, collaborative ecosystem, to work closely together with sustainable results. Supporting open content licensing infrastructure is a critical part of building the open internet. Mozilla and CC continue to collaborate on the best use of this funding.
Creative Commons
Creative Commons is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to making it easier for people to share and build upon the work of others, consistent with the rules of copyright. CC provides free licenses and other legal tools to mark creative work with the freedom the creator wants it to carry, so others can share, remix, use commercially, or any combination thereof.
Please consider making a contribution to Mozilla so we can continue to make grants to other worthwhile organizations such as Creative Commons.
