Teaching and Learning with Creative Commons
Creative Commons (CC) is an American non-profit
organization and international network devoted to
educational access and expanding the range
of creative works available for others to build upon legally
and to share.
The organization has released several copyright-licenses,
known as Creative Commons licenses, free of charge to the
public. These TH licenses allow authors of creative works to
communicate which rights they reserve and which rights
they waive for the benefit of recipients or other creators. An
easy-to-understand one-page explanation of rights, with
associated visual symbols, explains the specifics of each
Creative Commons license.
Creative Commons licenses do not replace copyright, but are
based upon it. They replace individual negotiations for
specific rights between copyright owner (licensor)
and licensee, which are necessary under an "all rights
reserved" copyright management, with a "some rights
reserved" management employing standardized licenses for
re-use cases where no commercial compensation is sought by
the copyright owner. The result is an agile, low-overhead,
and low-cost copyright-management regime, benefiting both
copyright owners and licensees.
