This document introduces Creative Commons licenses, which are copyright licenses that allow creators to communicate which rights they reserve and which rights they waive for others. There are six main CC licenses that differ in the rights allowed: Attribution (CC BY) allows commercial use and modifications as long as the original creator is credited; Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) allows commercial and non-commercial use and modifications as long as the original creator is credited and new creations are shared under the same license; Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) only allows sharing unmodified works non-commercially with credit to the original creator; and four others with variations on commercial use, modifications, and sharing derivatives
