  INTRODUCTION In today’s digitalworld, information, knowledge, and creative works such as images, videos, music, and writings are shared widely across the internet. While copyright laws protect creators’ rights, they can sometimes restrict the free use of content for learning, collaboration, and creativity. To solve this issue, the Creative Commons Licence (CC Licence) was introduced. It provides a simple and flexible way for creators to decide how others can use their work while still protecting their ownership rights.
