Free World Outline Maps have taken public domain maps from The University of Texas, Austin, USA and created creative commons free libre open maps that you can download and use !

They also have a great paint-your-own map webpage

the flickr cc-by-sa search page http://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/by-sa-2.0/ should only return CC BY SA photos !

StyleIgnite contains many free libre open / creative commons / gpl CSS designs you can use for your website

For example here is a GPL checkbox and radio replacement CSS

Inkscape is an Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to non open editors using the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format.

Supported SVG features include shapes, paths, text, markers, clones, alpha blending, transforms, gradients, patterns, and grouping.

Inkscape also supports Creative Commons meta-data, node editing, layers, complex path operations, bitmap tracing, text-on-path, flowed text, direct XML editing, and more.

It imports formats such as JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and others and exports PNG as well as multiple vector-based formats.

You can easily run Inkscape INSIDE a VMware Player Ubuntu virtual machine EVEN if you are not running GNU/Linux directly on your desktop !

OER Commons is the first comprehensive open learning network where teachers and professors (from pre-K to graduate school) can access their colleagues’ course materials, share their own, and collaborate on affecting today’s classrooms. It uses Web 2.0 features (tags, ratings, comments, reviews, and social networking) to create an online experience that engages educators in sharing their best teaching and learning practices.

After the proof of concept prototype we created at BBC Yahoo hackday we're going to try and implement this in Ruby so start reading !

Free + Database = Freebase
It's about film, sports, politics, music, science and everything else all connected together. Our contributors are collecting data from all over the internet to build a massive, collaboratively-edited database of cross-linked data. Its a big job and we're just getting started.

How free?
Really free. We want to make it possible for you to add high quality structured information to your websites, mashups and applications without worrying about restrictive corporate licenses. All data is licensed Creative Commons Attribution. We only ask that you link back to us.

Flickr advanced search http://flickr.com/search/advanced/

has three check boxes

• Only search within Creative Commons licensed photos

•      Find content to use commercially
•      Find content to modify, adapt, or build upon

that generate 4 CC search variations

• CC any http://flickr.com/search/?l=cc
• CC commercial http://flickr.com/search/?l=comm
• CC derivative http://flickr.com/search/?l=deriv
• CC commercial & derivative http://flickr.com/search/?l=commderiv

the later one is equivalent to CC-BY-SA
