COPYRIGHTS: CREATIVE COMMONS

According to Wikipedia (2014), A Creative Commons (CC) license is one of several public
copyright licenses that permit the free distribution of an otherwise copyrighted work. Creative
Commons is a type of license that allows the public authorization to use and share in a creative way
under the conditions of the creator. The Creative Commons licenses are not marginal to copyrights but a
form of alliance to allow the public to use the materials as needed. Under the Creative Common
umbrella there are six different licenses that are groupings of Attribution (CC BY), the most compliant,
Share Alike (CC BY-SA), No Derivatives (CC BY-NC), Non-Commercial (CC BY-NC), Non-Commercial Share
Alike (CC BY-NC-SA), Non-Commercial No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND). All of the licenses include
attribution. Attribution permits people the usage of the work as long as they credit the original author
for the original creation (Creative Commons 200lb, para. 9). They all share a baseline of rights, the right
to distribute the copyrighted work worldwide, without changes, at no charge.
Creative Commons (CC) licenses were founded in 2001 by a nonprofit organization named
Creative Commons and published in 2002. This nonprofit organization was established by Lawrence
Lessig, Hal Abelson, and Eric Eldred with the support from Center for the Public Domain. The purpose of
the CC license is to allow sharing and use of creative work and knowledge through free legal tools.
Creative Commons works together with copyright to modify any copyright terms as needed to fit the
users situation.
