Creative Commons License

Creative Commons copyright licenses and tools strike a balance within the traditional “all rights reserved” framework created by copyright law. Our tools offer everyone, from individual creators to large corporations and institutions, a simple, standardized way to grant copyright permissions on their creative work. The combination of our tools and our users is a vast and growing digital common space, a pool of content that can be copied, distributed, edited, remixed and developed, all within the limits of copyright.

Why Creative Commons License

Why would I want to share my work with others?

There are many reasons to license your work with a Creative Commons license:

Contributing to the culture of free works
Engaging fans of your work
Making your work easier to share
Convenience: under traditional copyright, if you want others to use your work, you must grant licenses to each person individually, whereas Creative Commons empowers you to grant permission to everyone automatically
Adaptability: your creation can grow, change, and become something better than you ever imagined
