Meme templates that are made from material that is licensed under creative commons or other copyleeft licenses?

Are there any communities or websites that collect/list them?

    "but why" meme, with the the text "but why" over an image of Ryan Reynolds in medical scrubs in the film Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle

    meme culture is arguably a subset of that thing called “remix culture”, but, the guy who coined that term and created Creative Commons to support it was tragicomically mistaken about the viability (not to mention actual utility) of his efforts to get participants in it to care about engaging with copyright law via copyleft licenses.

    so, i think the answer to your question is: probably not.

    “hmm, i should find an appropriately licensed image to use” is not something most practitioners of applied memeography have ever said or will ever say (at least until general-purpose computers are actually outlawed, such that casual copyright infringement becomes non-trivial). imo. 🤡

      I agree.

      I don’t have issues with that too.

      But I do want and wish to share/use more copyleft memes.
