“What is Creative Commons”

This article explains what Creative Commons, CC, is and how it works. CC is a nonprofit organization that helps individuals and companies legally share creative works. CC has been used to share cultural, educational, and scientific works. It is a free and easy to use tool that gives individuals legal rights to their works. It is less stringent than traditional copyright in that the creator of the work can allow others to use their works while putting some stipulations on its use.
