Here is a slide show on Creative Commons. Enjoy!

1. Creative Commons
By Alexandra

2. What is creative commons?
Creative commons is a way to
share things that have been
created and make sure that the
original creator gets some credit
for the work.
There are certain licenses that
allow types of copyright.

3. ‘Attribution (by)
Licenses may copy,
distribute, display and
perform the work and
make derivative works
based on it only if they
give the author or
licensor the credits in
the manner specified
by these.

4. Noncommercial (nc) Licenses
may copy, distribute, display,
and perform the work and
make derivative works based
on it only for noncommercial
needs.

5. No Derivative Works
(nd) Licenses may
copy, distribute,
display and perform
only verbatim
copies of the work,
not the actual thing,
because that is
copyright.

6. Share-alike (sa)
licenses may
hand out
derivative
works only
under a license
identical to the
license that
looks after the
original work.’

7. Licenses
can also be
put together
to create
different
types of
copyright.

8. The license design
The license is made up
into three parts. The first
part is machine readable.
The second layer is
human readable
• And the final layer is the legal code.

9. The license can be written in different
ways, for example for a lawyer could
have the ‘traditional legal tool’ with
more formal language, and better
format.
Also not every artist or author is a
lawyer who could understand the
legal code.
