CC Licenses Build upon
Traditional Copyright
! CC works within the existing system by
allowing movement from “All Rights
Reserved” to “Some Rights Reserved”
! CC improves copyright by giving creators
a choice about which freedoms to grant and
which rights to keep
! CC minimizes transaction costs by granting
the public certain permissions beforehand
Basic License Building Blocks
CC licenses are comprised of combinations of 4
basic conditions:Attribution
Non-Commercial
No Derivatives
Share Alike
Attribution (BY)
• Allows others to copy, distribute, display, and
perform the copyrighted work — and
derivative works based upon it — but only if
they give credit in the manner specified.
• All CC licenses require attribution
• Some people require www linkbacks as part
of the attribution clause.
Non-Commercial (NC)
• Lets others copy, distribute, display, and
perform the work for noncommercial
purposes only.
• The author retains the commercial rights.
• Users may still request to use the work
commercially, which may cost money.
No Derivatives (ND)
• Allows others to copy, distribute, display, and
perform only verbatim copies of the work, not
derivative works based upon it.
• For the purposes of CC licenses, syncing
music in timed-relation with a moving image
is a derivative work.
Share Alike (SA)
• Allows others to distribute derivative works
only under a license that is the same as, or
compatible with, the license that governs the
work.
• This is the only license term that mandates
the new work be placed into the commons.
CC licenses are expressed in three
different ways:
<a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/us/"><img alt="Creative Commons License" style="border-width:0" src="http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by/3.0/us/88x31.png" /></a><br />This work is licensed under a <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/us/">Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 United States License</a>.
