  How To UseCreative Commons Licenses: CC BY-SA “This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work even for commercial purposes, as long as they credit you and license their new creations under the identical terms. This license is often compared to ‘copyleft’ free and open source software licenses. All new works based on yours will carry the same license, so any derivatives will also allow commercial use. This is the license used by Wikipedia.” --https://creativecommons.org/licenses

  How To UseCreative Commons Licenses: FAQ Q: Are Creative Commons licenses enforceable in a court of law? A: Creative Commons licenses are drafted to be enforceable around the world, and have been enforced in court in various jurisdictions. To CC's knowledge, the licenses have never been held unenforceable or invalid. Q: What if I change my mind about using a CC license? A: CC licenses are not revocable. Once something has been published under a CC license, licensees may continue using it according to the license terms for the duration of applicable copyright and similar rights. As a licensor, you may stop distributing under the CC license at any time, but anyone who has access to a copy of the material may continue to redistribute it under the CC license terms --https://wiki.creativecommons.org/FAQ

University of Maryland Policy on Intellectual Property: • V.A.1: “Personnel shall own works and all rights under copyright in works they create that are not otherwise subject to University ownership under Section V.A.2 below.” • V.A.2.(a): ”Works Created by Non-faculty Personnel.

  Digression: Do YouOwn the Copyright to Your LibGuides? Columbia University Libraries’ Copyright Advisory Office: • “A few courts have ruled on the question of whether works created by faculty members are works made for hire, and whether the policy at the college or university effectively resolves questions about copyright ownership. These cases might address some leg questions, but they leave unclear whether general university copyright policies are enforceable. […] [T]hese policies should be supplemented with written and signed agreements when the need for resolution of the ownership issues is critical.”
