Open Source
There are tools and then there are tools. Resource that are free for all (for now). The mind boggles. Some cases in point:
* The Internet Archive
The best media resource for me - ever! And the "Way Back Machine"!
* Open Culture
Wonderful free cultural and educational media on the web
* The Wikimedia movement
Just a few of: * Wikipedia * Wikimedia * WikiSource * Wikidata
* The Public Domain Review
Also brings us: The Public Domain Image Archive
