Copyright provides exclusive rights over creative works for a limited time, while Creative Commons licenses allow sharing and adapting works under certain conditions. There are six main CC licenses that determine if others can use a work commercially, make derivatives, and require attribution and sharing alike. CC licenses provide an alternative to traditional "all rights reserved" copyright by selecting some restrictions to allow free distribution and use.

How does copyright work?
• A copyrighted work must be an original
work of authorship which is fixed in a
tangible medium of expression.
• The Copyright Act prevents the
unauthorized copying of a work of
authorship. However, only the copying of
the work is prohibited--anyone may copy
the ideas contained within a work. For
example, a copyright could cover a
written description of a machine, but the
actual machine itself is not covered.
How does creative common license
work
• A CC license is used when an author wants to
give other people the right to share, use, and
build upon a work that the author has created.
• These licences help the creator to give
permission for others to use the work in
advance under certain conditions.
• Creative Commons is a system that allows you
to legally use “some rights reserved” music,
movies, images, and other content — all for
free. CC offers free copyright licenses that
anyone can use to mark their creative work
with the freedoms they want it to carry.
