Creative commons

Creative Commons is a way for people to share their work with others. People who create artwork, music, movies, and other creations can use Creative Commons to let others know that they can use it, too. They can say that people are allowed to use their work for free, or that people need to get their permission or pay them to use it. That way, people can find and use your work in a way that everyone is happy with.
