This is a list of art, books, images, and other works that are in the public domain. It also contains resources such as books, articles, and talks that discuss the public domain. The goal of this list is to make it easy to find a variety of works that are free of copyright restrictions, which can be useful when creating presentations, etc.

By submitting this pull request I confirm I've read and complied with the below requirements.

Please read it multiple times. I spent a lot of time on these guidelines and most people miss a lot.

  • I have read and understood the contribution guidelines and the instructions for creating a list.
  • This pull request has a descriptive title.
    For example, Add Name of List, not Update readme.md or Add awesome list.
  • The entry in the Awesome list should:
    • Include a short description about the project/theme of the list. It should not describe the list itself.
      Example: - [Fish](…) - User-friendly shell., not - [Fish](…) - Resources for Fish..
    • Be added at the bottom of the appropriate category.
  • The list I'm submitting complies with these requirements:
    • Has been around for at least 30 days.
      That means 30 days from either the first real commit or when it was open-sourced. Whatever is most recent.
    • It's the result of hard work and the best I could possibly produce.
    • Non-generated Markdown file in a GitHub repo.
    • Includes a succinct description of the project/theme at the top of the readme. (Example)
    • The repo should have awesome-list & awesome as GitHub topics. I encourage you to add more relevant topics.
    • Not a duplicate.
    • Only has awesome items. Awesome lists are curations of the best, not everything.
    • Includes a project logo/illustration whenever possible.
      • Placed at the top-right of the readme. (Example)
      • The image should link to the project website or any relevant website.
      • The image should be high-DPI. Set it to maximum half the width of the original image.
    • Entries have a description, unless the title is descriptive enough by itself. It rarely is though.
    • Includes the Awesome badge.
      • Should be placed on the right side of the readme heading.
      • Should link back to this list.
    • Has a Table of Contents section.
      • Should be named Contents, not Table of Contents.
      • Should be the first section in the list.
      • Should only have one level of sub-lists, preferably none.
    • Has an appropriate license.
      • That means something like CC0, not a code licence like MIT, BSD, Apache, etc.
      • If you use a license badge, it should be SVG, not PNG.
    • Has contribution guidelines.
      • The file should be named contributing.md. Casing is up to you.
    • Has consistent formatting and proper spelling/grammar.
      • Each link description starts with an uppercase character and ends with a period.
        Example: - [AVA](…) - JavaScript test runner.
      • Drop all the A / An prefixes in the descriptions.
      • Consistent and correct naming. For example, Node.js, not NodeJS or node.js.
    • Doesn't include a Travis badge.
      You can still use Travis for list linting, but the badge has no value in the readme.
  • Go to the top and read it again.

Looks pretty good.

In the License section, you're linking to the full CC0 license text. I don't see how that's very useful. Would be better to link to something that in a more user-friendly way explains the license.

The description for CC0 was not clear enough (it links to GitHub's Choose a License page), so I updated the description to make it clear. I also added a description for what the list contains at the top of the file.
