What is Creative Commons?
Creative Commons is a nonprofit organization that works to increase the amount of creativity (cultural, educational, and scientific content) available in “the commons” — the body of work that is available to the public for free and legal sharing, use, repurposing, and remixing.
Apply a Creative Commons License to make your work re-usable on your terms. The chart below explains the different Creative Commons licenses and what the licenses allow others to do with your work.
