Creative Commons International, or CCi, is a "port" for Creative Commons Licenses to different copyright legislations around the world. Creative Commons started in the US, and initially established non-localised Creative Commons Licenses with the US legal system in mind. Creative Commons International was founded to port various licenses accommodating local copyright and private law.

The CCi is lead by director Catharina Maracke and volunteer teams work in each jurisdiction (in most cases countries or nation states).

The work of the CCi

The porting process involves both linguistically translating the licenses and legally adapting them to particular jurisdictions.

Country teams

Country teams introduce Creative Commons to their country and facilitate extensive consultations and discussion with members of the public and key stakeholders in an effort to adapt the Creative Commons Licenses to local circumstances, i.e. their jurisdiction.Country teams usually have a Project Lead and may have their own website in addition to their Country website on the CCi website. Country teams may be supported by organisations, for CCi Ireland is a collaboration between Creative Commons and the University College Cork.
