Creative Commons license

Last updated ·

ACreative Commons licenseis one of several public copyright licenses produced by Creative Commons (CC), a U.S. non-profit corporation, that enable the free distribution of an otherwise copyrighted "work" for public good. A CC license is used when an author wants to give other people the right to share, use, and build upon a work that the author has created. CC provides an author flexibility and protects the people who use or redistribute an author's work from concerns of copyright infringement as long as they abide by the conditions that are specified in the license by which the author distributes the work.
