As we all know, copyright protect your creativity against people you don’t consent to. You automatically won the copyright to anything you created. However, sometimes full copyright is too restrictive. What if you want to make contributions to others’ creativity and what if you want your works are shared by other people? Therefore, we come to the Creative Commons License. The Creative Commons License provides free copyright licenses you can use to tell people which parts of your copyright you are happy to give it to the public.

By answering several questions, the Creative Commons will choose the suitable license for you.



There are several types of licenses:

Attribution means:
You let others copy, distribute, display, and perform your copyrighted work - and derivative works based upon it - but only if they give you credit.

Noncommercial means:
You let others copy, distribute, display, and perform your work - and derivative works based upon it - but for noncommercial purposes only.

No Derivative Works means:
You let others copy, distribute, display, and perform only verbatim copies of your work, not derivative works based upon it.

Share Alike means:
You allow others to distribute derivative works only under a license identical to the license that governs your work.
