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?

    Pretty sure memes dont fall under fair use or derivative work. I guess it depends what your using them for. We hired a new sign maker who used the “winter is coming” meme for one of their in-store signs (it was actually tastefully done in chalk art and looked good). Its stayed up for about a week before corporate saw it and told us to take it down before we get a cease and desist.

        Given the origin of most memes I doubt there will be many. Either you have some noname who could use the money from suing for copyright infringement or a major entertainment company that have lawyers on the lookout for such things. Your only bet would be an unknown meme (kinda defeats the purpose) or someone who isnt collecting on a meme.
