1 Openverse
The last State of the Word reminded me again to check the Openverse project. Openverse is a tool that allows openly licensed and public domain works to be discovered and used by everyone. All code is open source (Openverse frontend, Openverse API, Openverse Catalog). Openverse is the successor to CC Search which was launched by Creative Commons in 2019. So an example of a great open project that meets all our open principles ! Cc-by is the future, be prepared.
