Tentatively, the following licenses are known to meet the criteria set out by the definition:

In addition, works in the public domain are also free content as per the definition.

To be verified:

Controversial:

  • Against DRM license - very vague, legally speaking, about what exactly it tries to forbid. If it forbids use even for developing DRM, bundling with DRM, etc., it is not a free content license. Legally speaking, this license uses the same definition of the law.
  • IANG license - seeks to enforce lots of things that are outside of the copyright realm (like organization scheme, rights of users to have a voice in the development process, etc.)
