Creative Commons is a nonprofit that provides free legal tools to allow sharing and reuse of creativity and knowledge. Creative Commons licenses allow creators to define what types of sharing and reuse of their work is allowed, as "all rights reserved" is the default. The licenses are structured around combinations of Attribution, ShareAlike, NonCommercial, and NoDerivatives. Popular license choices provide the most openness while still protecting authorship.
