Creative Commons: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to use Creative Commons licenses to share your creative work globally while still maintaining your copyright.
Creative Commons provides a legal framework that allows you to share your creative work with the world while still retaining your copyright.
Who it's for
This is for any creator who wants to manage how their work is used by others.
What you get
You receive a standardized way to tell the public exactly how they can use, share, or build upon your work. This allows you to grant permissions upfront without needing to negotiate individual licenses for every person who finds your content.
What it costs you
It is free to use.
The catch to know
Once you apply a license to a piece of work, you cannot revoke that license for the copies of the work that people have already acquired under it.
How to apply
- Decide exactly how much freedom you want to give to your audience.
- Select the specific license terms that match your goals.
- Apply the license to your work by including the license information with your content.
