This page collects all the games under an open license like the Open Game License and various Creative Commons Licenses.
Definition: What is an Open License?
This page operates under the following definition:

In other words, if something is available under an open license, I can use and re-use it for free, as long as I respect the restrictions laid out in the license, without having to contact the author.
