Broadcast by the Public, for the Public

The same mission is now also taken on by media outlets whose primary purpose is public service, the public broadcasters. The biggest public broadcasters in Germany are now, for the first time, licensing material under a Creative Commons License. The high quality animations provided by the german broadcaster ZDF under CC BY 4.0 and CC BY-SA 4.0 licenses are now being used by several Wikipedia projects and highlighted as featured videos by the Wikimedia commons community. The educational clips are watched more than a million times each month. Broadcasters ARD and Deutschlandradio will follow this path soon and make content from their vast archives available under Creative Commons licenses.
