What are Creative Commons Licenses ?

Creative Commons (CC) licenses are public licenses. You can use them to indicate what other people are allowed to do with your work. Each work is automatically protected by copyright, which means that others will need to ask permission from you as the copyright owner.

There are six different Creative Commons licenses:

LICENSE TYPES

CC BY: This license lets others distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon your work, even commercially, as long as they credit you for the original creation.

CC BY-NC-ND: The Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs license is the most restrictive of the 6 main licenses, only allowing others to download your works and share them with others as long as they credit you, but they can’t change them in any way or use them commercially.

CC BY-SA: The Attribution-ShareAlike license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work even for commercial purposes, as long as they credit you and license their new creations under the identical terms. This license is often compared to “copyleft” free and open source software licenses.

CC BY-NC-SA: The Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work non-commercially, as long as they credit you and license their new creations under the identical terms.

CC BY-NC: The Attribution-NonCommercial license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work non-commercially, & although their new works must also acknowledge you & be non-commercial, they don’t have to license their derivative works on the same terms.

CC BY-ND: The Attribution-NoDerivs license allows for redistribution, commercial and non-commercial, as long as it is passed along unchanged and in whole, with credit to you.
