The document discusses Creative Commons licenses which provide standardized ways for creators to grant public permission to use their creative works. There are several types of CC licenses that differ in what uses are allowed. CC BY allows both commercial and non-commercial use, as long as credit is given to the creator. CC BY-SA allows both commercial and non-commercial use as long as derivatives are shared under the same license. CC BY-NC only allows non-commercial use and does not allow derivatives.
