Introduction to Creative Commons

 

 

 

What is Creative Commons?

Creative Commons is a non-profit that offers an alternative to full copyright.

 

With legal barriers, we advocate for licensing of educational materials under interoperable terms, such as those provided by Creative Commons licenses, that allow unhampered modification, remixing, and redistribution. We also educate teachers, learners, and policy makers about copyright and fair-use issues pertaining to education.
