Creative Commons
CreativeCommons.org is the home of the Creative Commons, a non-profit dedicated to helping copyright holders be able to distribute and share their work on the web. Creative Commons provides a series of licenses that allow artists, educators, authors, scientists and others to designate which rights to their work they wish to keep (if any) and which allows for common definitions of what rights others have to use, disseminate or modify their work.
The licenses provided by Creative Commons thusly provide an alternative to full copyrights without necessarily giving up certain copyrights that the creator of the works desire to keep. This helps the works' originators as well as the public by providing avenues for the sharing and proliferation of information, knowledge and creativity.
Licenses
The Creative Commons licenses are broken up into multiple core types that can be mixed to form a licence.
