Creative
Commons
(CC)
licensing
(http://creativecommons.org/)
has
emerged
as
the
strongest
system
of
releasing
copyright
protected
work
with
only
‘some
rights
reserved’
whilst
still
protecting
an
owner’s
copyright
and
a
creator’s
moral
rights.
Creative
Commons
licences
provide
the
copyright
owner
of
a
work
with
a
variety
of
options
that
maintain
the
protection
of
their
work,
in
a
culture
that
supports
wider
dissemination
of
works,
without
the
user
needing
to
seek
explicit
permission
for
each
use
not
already
provided
for
in
copyright
legislation.
Creative
Commons
licences
break
down
the
conditions
of
use
into
four
components
that
are
backed
up
by
detailed,
standard
legal
wording.
The
four
terms
are
combined
in
various
ways
to
create
the
six
CC
licences:
‘attribution’
is
the
only
term
that
can
stand
alone
as
a
licence;
it
is
also
a
component
of
all
the
other
licences.
