This document discusses copyright, Creative Commons, public domain, and open educational resources. It explains that copyright protects intellectual property for the creator's lifetime plus 70 years in the EU. Creative Commons licenses provide options for sharing and reuse of works while still giving credit. The public domain contains works no longer under copyright. Open educational resources are freely available teaching and learning materials under open licenses.

Editor's Notes
The first CC licences were released in 2002
The central to each of the CC licences are the four licence elements – Attribution, noncommercial, no derivative and sharealike
These represent restrictions that copyright owners may want to put on how people can use their material.
As you can see, each of the elements has a symbol that can be used to ‘represent’ each of these elements
this makes the licences easier understand – in theory, once a person is familiar with the CC licences, they should be able to recognise what uses are allowed simply by looking at the symbols
