Topic : - Creative Common license
Creative Commons (CC) licenses are a set of public copyright licenses that allow creators to share their work with others while specifying the terms of use. These licenses provide a standardized way to grant permissions for the use of creative works, making it easier for creators to share their content while retaining some rights.
Types of Creative Commons Licenses
There are six main types of CC licenses, each with different levels of permissions:
CC BY (Attribution):Allows others to distribute, remix, adapt, and build upon the work, even for commercial purposes, as long as they credit the creator.
CC BY-SA (Attribution-ShareAlike): Similar to CC BY, but requires that any adaptations of the work be shared under the same or a compatible license.
CC BY-NC (Attribution-Non Commercial): Permits others to remix, adapt, and build upon the work for non-commercial purposes only, with proper credit to the creator.
CC BY-NC-SA (Attribution-Non Commercial-ShareAlike): Allows non-commercial use and adaptations, provided the adaptations are shared under the same or a compatible license, with attribution.
CC BY-ND (Attribution-No Derivatives): Allows redistribution, including for commercial purposes, but the work must remain unchanged and credited to the creator.
CC BY-NC-ND (Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives): The most restrictive license, allowing others to download and share the work for non-commercial purposes, but without any modifications and with proper attribution.
