Libre art (librart in short) is the collection of libre artworks by libre artists or ethical artists published in libre repositories such Wikimedia Commons.
Libre artists (aka librartists or ethical artists) emerged in the western world (Europe and Americas) alongside the free culture movement and its various events (e.g. iSummits and iCommons events). The Licence Art Libre was developed in France. Spain hosts the Oxcars, a public showcase that puts the spotlight on cultural creation and distribution carried out under the paradigms of shared culture.[1] Poland's CopyCamp event features libre culture with Nina Paley, Cory Doctorow, Birgitta Jónsdóttir and Visegrád Countries, and there is a growing global community, e. g. the LILA people[2] or Bassam Kurdali (Blender team)[3] etc.
The arts[edit]
The arts represent an outlet of expression, that is usually influenced by culture and which in turn helps to change culture. As such, the arts are a physical manifestation of the internal creative impulse. Major constituents of the arts include literature – including poetry, novels and short stories, and epics; performing arts – among them music, dance, and theatre; culinary arts such as baking, chocolatiering, and winemaking; media arts like photography and cinematography, and visual arts – including drawing, painting, and sculpting. Some art forms combine a visual element with performance (e.g. film) and the written word (e.g. comics).
From prehistoric cave paintings to modern day films, art serves as a vessel for storytelling and conveying mankind's relationship with its environment.
Licensing[edit]
Applying the principles of copyleft to art, the License Art Libre or Free Art License was written in July 2002, with contributions from the mailing list <copyleft_attitude
April.org> and in particular with lawyers Mélanie Clément-Fontaine and David Geraud, and artists Isabelle Vodjdani and Antoine Moreau.[5] From the preamble:
The Free Art License grants the right to freely copy, distribute, and transform creative works without infringing the author’s rights.
The Free Art License recognizes and protects these rights. Their implementation has been reformulated in order to allow everyone to use creations of the human mind in a creative manner, regardless of their types and ways of expression.[6]
Subsequently, Creative Commons licenses became popular alternatives, most notably the Attribution-ShareAlike licence.
In 2007, version 1.3 of the Free Art License was amended to provide greater legal certainty and optimum compatibility with other copyleft licenses.[7]

I do think this shift in human relationships affects the work itself, that there can be something different and pleasingly indie about libre art and code compared to proprietary works.
