What is Creative Commons?
Creative Commons (CC) is a US charitable organisation that develops, supports, and stewards legal and technical infrastructure to maximize digital creativity, sharing, and innovation. CC provides free copyright licences for everyone, from individuals to large companies and governments, to mark their works with copyright permissions allowing others to copy, distribute, and make specified re-uses.
CC licences help the copyright owner to tailor, as they choose, the default "all rights reserved" of copyright to "some rights reserved. By using CC licences the copyright owner may provide non-exclusive permission to copy, remix, and or share their work. These permissions may be restricted or limited, again as the copyright owner chooses; for example by limiting such uses to non-commercial use only.
Attribution Attribution - Share Alike Attribution - No Derivatives
There are six core CC licences all of which
require that the copyright owner receive attribution. For more information on the different

In addition, CC offers two "tools" including the
Public Domain Mark and CC Zero, a waiver of
all copyrights.
