NonCommercial (“NC”) As we know, three of the licenses (BY-NC, BY-NC-SA, and BY-NC-ND) limit reuse of the work to noncommercial purposes only. For now, let’s focus on what makes the licenses different.
Attribution is a part of all CC licenses, and we will dissect exactly what type of attribution is required in a later unit. To understand how the different license options really work, let’s dig into the different license elements. They may also adapt the work for their own personal use but may not share any adaptations publicly. It allows people to use the unadapted work for noncommercial purposes only, and only as long as they give credit to the creator. The Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives license or “BY-NC-ND” is the most restrictive license offered by CC. The six licenses, from least to most restrictive in terms of the freedoms granted reusers, are: Beyond that commonality, the licenses vary whether (1) commercial use of the work is permitted and (2) whether the work can be adapted, and if so, on what terms. In other words, all of the licenses require that the creator be attributed in connection with their work. The four license elements-BY, SA, NC, and ND-combine to make up six different license options.Īll of the licenses include the BY condition. If you shared that work with others, would you have been okay with them adapting it or using it for commercial purposes? Why or why not? Acquiring Essential KnowledgeĬreative Commons licenses are standardized tools, but part of the vision is to provide a range of options for creators who are interested in sharing their works with the public rather than reserving all rights under copyright. Think about a piece of creative or academic work you made that you are particularly proud of. Personal Reflection / Why It Matters to You But when you dig into the options, you will realize the spectrum of choices is fairly simple. At first, all of these choices can appear daunting.
The CC license suite (which includes the six CC licenses) and the CC0 public domain dedication offer creators a range of options. There is no single Creative Commons license.
Why are there so many different Creative Commons licenses?
