WHAT IS CREATIVE COMMONS?
"Creative Commons" by Kalexanderson is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0
Assume you made a YouTube video and wanted to add some music, but due to licensing limitations, you couldn't use just any song; here is where creative commons comes in. Creative Commons licenses provide freedom to standard copyright constraints; for example, you can use any Creative Commons item for free.
These licenses are chosen by creators for their photographs, music, videos, and other sorts of content in order to share them with as many people as possible. Of course, there are some limitations you must follow if you utilize Creative Commons material. Depending on the creator's wishes, you may be required to give due credit or be prohibited from utilizing their work to make money.
DIFFERENT TYPES CREATIVE COMMONS LICENSES
"One year of Free Pictures" by Carlos ZGZ is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0
If you decide to use a Creative Commons-licensed image on your article, make sure to read the license terms. The sole requirement for most photographs is that you attribute the work to the original author, although some licenses have extra restrictions. ref
Attribution
This Creative Commons license allows for the maximum sharing and republishing options. You may redistribute, adapt, and build upon the original work under this license as long as you credit the original author of the image (learn how to properly attribute images to their respective authors further down in this article). You should also take care not to imply that the original author has supported you in any manner by using their item. ref
Share A Like
You can reproduce, change, and improve upon the originating material below the ShareAlike license as much as you credit it to the authentic source and distribute under that same license – meaning, the ShareAlike license. The photograph should not be reused under any terms that are different or more restrictive than those imposed by the original author.ref
NoDerivs
NoDerivs is an abbreviation for "No Derivative Works." Only exact copies of the work may be used and shared under this Creative Commons license; no derivative or edited versions of the work may be used or shared. In other words, under this license, there is no changing, remixing, or building upon the original media. ref
NonCommercial
The NonCommercial license permits you to change and expand on the original media, but it cannot be shared commercially. Bloggers for business: Take note of this license. Although blogs do not produce revenue on their own, they can help to support and develop clients for a revenue-generating business. As a result, unless the media's author specifies otherwise, it's preferable to avoid media under this license when publishing to a company blog.ref
NonCommercial - ShareAlike
The terms of the NonCommercial and ShareAlike licenses are combined in this hybrid license. You can reproduce, edit, and improve on genuine material by utilizing these types of Creative Commons photos, as long as this doesn't serve a business goal, you assign the content to the original source, and reissue the image on the same NonCommercial ShareAlike license. ref
NonCommercial - NoDerivs
The most restricted license an artist can use on their work is NonCommercial-NoDerivs. You may not edit, remix, or build upon the original work, nor may you publish it for commercial purposes, under this license. If you're posting a NonCommercial-NoDerivs image to a personal website, you must display the media exactly as you found it and credit the original artist.
