Copyright licences of this kind are referred to as ‘licences for free and open source software, free and open source hardware, or free cultural works’. Examples of such licences include those created or approved [for free software projects by the Free Software Foundation](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html), [for open source projects by the Open Source Initiative](https://opensource.org/licenses), and [for free cultural works by Creative Commons](https://creativecommons.org/public-domain/freeworks/). Note, however, that the Creative Commons licences with Non-Commercial (NC) or No Derivatives (ND) restrictions are not licences for free cultural works and thus do not fulfil the licensing requirement.
As an exception to this requirement, works which primarily describe the personal opinions or experiences of the author, or which embody the unique personal creative spirit of the author, may be included in public repositories under a copyright licence which does not allow modification and/or commercial use, such as a Creative Commons licence with NC or ND restrictions.

By including works with licences which do not allow commercial use on Codeberg, you additionally grant Codeberg e. V. a non-exclusive licence to use and distribute copies of the works for the purposes set down in § 2 ([Purpose and tasks](https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/src/branch/main/en/bylaws.md#2-purpose-and-tasks)/[Ziele und Aufgaben](https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/src/branch/main/Satzung.md#2-ziele-und-aufgaben)) of Codeberg e. V.’s bylaws (Satzung).
Public repository content may also be distributed with a declaration which entirely abandons copyright in the work to the public domain. Public repository content may also include works which are no longer covered by any copyright due to expiration. Crediting the original authors of public domain content is encouraged.
