Attribution CC BY

your work, even commercially, as long as they credit you for
the original creation. This is the most accommodating of
licenses offered. Recommended for maximum dissemination
and use of licensed materials.

commercial, as long as it is passed along unchanged and in whole,
with credit to you.



Attribution-NonCommercial
CC BY-NC

This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work non-
commercially, and although their new works must also acknowledge
you and be non-commercial, they don’t have to license their
derivative works on the same terms.



Attribution-ShareAlike
CC BY-SA

This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your
work even for commercial purposes, as long as they credit
you and license their new creations under the identical
terms. This license is often compared to “copyleft” free and
open source software licenses. All new works based on
yours will carry the same license, so any derivatives will
also allow commercial use. This is the license used by

benefit from incorporating content from Wikipedia and
similarly licensed projects.

CC BY-NC-SA

This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work
non-commercially, as long as they credit you and license their
new creations under the identical terms.



Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs
CC BY-NC-ND

This license is the most restrictive of our six main licenses, only
allowing others to download your works and share them with
others as long as they credit you, but they can’t change them
in any way or use them commercially.
