Free information or free content is any kind of functional work, artwork, or other creative content, which meets the free content definition,[1] by having no restrictions on one's freedom to use, distribute copies, modify, and to distribute derived works of the content.[2] Free information in its various forms is leveraged and created by a number of Virginia Tech services and projects.
