Creative Commons Licenses & Open Educational Resources

Creative Commons is a non-profit organization that provides free copyright licenses that are simple to understand and easy to use, allowing creators to share their work with others.

Copyright laws are regulations that apply to the duplication and distribution of original works. Creative Commons licenses, which work in conjunction with a nation's copyright laws, are applied when creators want to extend certain rights to others. The guide below will help describe each as well as public domain licenses.
