ANATOMY OF A LICENSE
CREATIVE COMMONS
Produced By Richard J Powell 2018
This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License
CREATIVE COMMONS LICENSES
• Are a balance between the “all rights reserved” of copyright and a simplified
standard to give permission to others to “Share, Collaborate, Remix, Reuse”
• Are up to date, free & have been globally adopted as a standard for open
copyright licenses
THREE LAYER DESIGN
• Base Layer = Lawyer Readable = Legal Code
• These are the terms & conditions of the license from a
legal standpoint; these are the elements that can be
enforced by a court of law
• Middle Layer = Human Readable = Commons Deed
• Webpages that explain & summarize the license terms in
non-legal terminology
• Final Layer = Machine Readable = Metadata
• “CC Rights Expression Language” creates a
standardized method to describe the licenses so apps &
search engines can find them

CC LICENSES & FAIR USE
CC Licensing Fundamental
Exceptions & limitations rights under copyright are NOT
reduced, limited or restricted by Creative Commons
Licenses – this includes Fair Use
CC LICENSES & PUBLIC DOMAIN
What if the creator of a work does not want “all rights reserved” and wishes to relinquish copyright?
In some countries, creators are not allowed to give up the copyright for their work using a
waiver. For this, Creative Commons has a public domain tool, CC0.
This license unconditionally allows anyone, anywhere in the world, to do what they wish
with that work. This license includes “a promise by the person applying CC0 to their work
that they will not assert copyright against reusers in a manner that interferes with their
stated intention of surrendering all rights in the work.” https://certificates.creativecommons.org/cccertedu/chapter/3-3-license-types/
This tool also carries rights beyond the other CC licenses. An example would be non-
competition laws. To reuse a work, you may still need to get clearance for other rights such
as trademark, patent or third party rights.
All icons, buttons and images used in this presentation can be found on the Creative Commons website or where otherwise noted.
