With Creative Commons, copyright holders can tell the world how their materials may be used while retaining their intellectual property. CC licenses have four elements: attribution, derivation, commercial-use, and sharing alike. Each license contains a variation of these elements that details how the resource can be used.

If you are not sure what is allowed under the Creative Commons License, visit the Creative Commons website and look for that particular license.

Please see below for the list of Creative Commons Licenses from the Creative Commons website.
