Creative Commons licenses allow authors to copyright their work without paying money while still allowing others to share and use the work under certain conditions. There are several types of Creative Commons licenses that determine if others can modify the work, use it commercially, or share derivatives. Creative Commons is beneficial for authors and teachers as it allows works to be easily shared and accessed, while still protecting the author's copyright. However, it may not be suitable if an author does not want their work publicly shared or modified.

2. Explain Creative Commons
(what is it? How does it work?)
The creative commons website is basically a website where all content
is easily copyrighted without money and shared with the public but
authors remain in control of their work

3. Explain all of these licenses
 Copy Right
 This means your work has a right not to be copied unless you want it to
 Attribution
 This means that you can tweak the work and make do anything you like you can even
make money but you have to give credit.
 Non- Commercial
 This means you can tweak the work and do anything but you can not make any
money out of it.
 Share Alike
 This means you can tweak the work and do anything you like with the work but you
must not copyright it and share it how you found it.
 No Derivative Works
 This means you can not tweak the work in anyway but you can pass it on.

4. Explain Why Using Creative Commons
licenses Is A Good Choice
 This is a good choice for authors and teachers because work is easily
shared and is very accessible for teachers to show work. It is also
legal for them to show . For authors it is a good choice because they
can copyright their works without having to pay money.

5. Explain Why Using Creative Commons
Licenses Might Not Be A Good Choice
 This might not be a good choice for authors because maybe
someone can post someone else’s work on creative commons and
share alike and you wanted it not to be public.
