This is NOT a presentation about …
• Copyright – Legislation– Restrictions
• Fair Use or Library Use
This IS a presentation about…
• Creative Commons– An nonprofit corporation created to assist content
creators in bypassing the restrictions of copyright– A license you can get for your own work to ensure
that it can be shared (or used by) others.
The thing about copyright …
• Copyright is automatic with the creation of work in a fixed format and lasts life of creator +70 years
• Copyright = bundle of rights – copy– create derivative works– distribute copies– perform works publicly– display works publicly
• Almost everything is copyrighted whether the creator intends it to be or not.
Because copyright is all or nothing…
• Creative Commons allows for “some rights reserved”
• The creator gets to decide what those rights are rather than the law
• Why do this? – Because protects free exchange of knowledge and
collaborative work– Gives control back to the creator to say “Yes. Use
my work.”
How Does It Work?
• Creators can create licenses specific to their needs.
• Creators have several conditions to choose from…
First Two License Conditions
• Attribution by– Others may copy, distribute, display, create
derivatives, and perform but only if give credit the way the creator requests.
• Share Alike – Others may distribute derivatives under a license
identical to yours.
Last Two License Conditions
• Non-Commercial – Others may copy, distribute, etc but only for non-
commercial purposes.
• No Derivative Works – Others may copy, distribute, etc only verbatim
copies and not derivatives.
To create your license… • You just need to combine the four conditions in
the ways to suit your needs to create a license.– Attribution– Attribution Share Alike– Attribution No Derivatives– Attribution Non-Commercial– Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike– Attribution Non-Commercial No Derivatives
• These are the main licenses. Others are available.
Where do you license your work?
