Creative Commons is an international non-profit organisation that provides free licences and tools that copyright owners can use to allow others to share, reuse and remix their material, legally. Releasing material under a CC license makes it clear to users what they can or cannot do with the material. The six standardised CC licences each allow material to be used in a different way. The South African Chapter is a group of enthusiasts and not a formal organisation.
