Respecting Creators - Creative Commons


Just as we wouldn't steal art in a museum, we shouldn't steal other's creations even if they share them online. One way in which we can do this is look for works that use the Creative Commons License.

The Creative Commons License allows people to pre-approve the conditions under which their work can be used by others.




Quoted from the creative commons website:
License Conditions
Creators choose a set of conditions they wish to apply to their work.
Attribution Attribution (by)All CC licenses require that others who use your work in any way must give you credit the way you request, but not in a way that suggests you endorse them or their use. If they want to use your work without giving you credit or for endorsement purposes, they must get your permission first.
ShareAlike ShareAlike (sa)You let others copy, distribute, display, perform, and modify your work, as long as they distribute any modified work on the same terms. If they want to distribute modified works under other terms, they must get your permission first.
