Creative Commons licenses provide alternatives to traditional copyright that allow creators to share their work more freely. There are several Creative Commons licenses that differ based on restrictions around attribution, commercial use, derivatives, and sharing. Creative Commons licenses build upon existing copyright by adding layers of permissions that promote open access, knowledge sharing, and education.
