It explains that Creative Commons licenses provide a standardized way for creators to grant copyright permissions to their work. The licenses allow creators to publish their works on more flexible terms than standard copyright. The document outlines the different Creative Commons license options and provides examples of how Creative Commons licensing is used, including for over 175 million photos on Flickr and in open educational resources.
