Creative Commons
A hub for various Creative Commons-related tutorials, guides, and articles
Through its free legal tools and licenses, Creative Commons enables authors, artists, scientists, and educators to share and distribute their work under easy-to-understand copyright terms. Creative Commons licenses essentially allow creators to take a “some rights reserved” approach to licensing, rather than an “all rights reserved” one, by giving others permission to use a work, but only under a specific set of conditions. In this way, creators' rights can be respected while the public good is served.
This project contains tutorials, guides, articles, and other materials aimed at helping people to learn about Creative Commons and use its licenses.
