Creative Commons licenses allow creators to choose how others can share and use their copyrighted work. There are six main Creative Commons licenses that differ in whether others can modify (derivative works), distribute commercially, or share derivatives under the same license. The most common licenses are Attribution (CC BY), which allows derivatives and commercial use as long as the original work is credited, and Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives (CC BY-NC-ND), which only allows others to download and share the original work non-commercially.

1. CREATIVE COMMONS LICENSES

2. Public Copyright licenses that enable the free
distribution of an otherwise copyrighted work.
And one of this licenses is the Creative
Commons License. It is used when an author
wants to give the right to share, used, build
upon or remake a work that they have created.
There are six different types of Creative
Commons Licenses

3. ATTRIBUTION
CC BY
Attribution is automatic under the CC BY license,
meaning that any work you create using Creative
Commons content will automatically show the
source. You retain your copyright and other users
get to reuse your work subject to the terms of the
license.

4. ATTRIBUTION NO DERIVATIVES
CC BY-ND
No Derivatives licenses permit people to copy
and distribute a work as long as they do not
change it or create derivative works. These
licenses ensure that no matter how many times
a work is copied and shared, the content of the
copies will be the same as the original. ND
licenses do not permit remixing or adaptation.

5. ATTRIBUTION SHARE-ALIKE
CC BY-SA
The purpose of a Share Alike license is to
ensure that all future adaptations and
derivatives of a work carry the same
permissions as the original. This way, no matter
what new forms the work takes on, it will
always be free, open and licensed for re-use.

6. ATTRIBUTION-NONCOMMERCIAL-
SHAREALIKE
CC BY-NC-SA
This license lets others remix, tweak, and build
upon your work non-commercially, as long as
they credit you and license their new creations
under the identical terms.

7. ATTRIBUTION-NONCOMMERCIAL-
NODERIVATIVES
CC BY-NC-ND
This license is the most restrictive of our six
main licenses, only allowing others to download
your works and share them with others as long
as they credit you, but they can’t change them
in any way or use them commercially.

8. ATTRIBUTION-NON COMMERCIAL
CC BY-NC
This license lets others remix, tweak, and build
upon your work non-commercially, and
although their new works must also
acknowledge you and be non-commercial, they
don’t have to license their derivative works on
the same terms.
