Creative Commons Licences

Creative Commons (CC) is a non-profit organization that enables the sharing and use of creativity through free legal tools. CC licenses let you change the copyright terms of your work from, 'all rights reserved' to 'some rights reserved'.

If you want to give other people the right to share, use or even build upon a work that you have created, consider publishing under a Creative Commons licence. CC offers flexibility to choose from a range of licences that offer different levels of use and re-use. All CC licences require that others who use your work in any way must give you credit in the way that you request. Find out more about Creative Commons licences and choosing the right one for your work.
