Creative Commons is a non-profit
organization that enables worldwide sharing
and reuse of creative works and knowledge
through free legal and technical tools.

Why Enable Sharing
• Technology changed how we interact
with copyrighted works and copyright
law
• We are all creators
• Many creators build off of others’ works
• Not all creators want all the rights
granted by copyright in every situation
![Page 4: Creative commons licenses and legal tools](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062706/557560c6d8b42a40668b5110/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
How Sharing is Enabled
Free copyright tools make it easier for copyright
holders to exercise their rights
by
cutting out the middleman and getting the law out of
the way.

Things Licensors Should Consider
• Standard things for any license: Is it
copyrightable? Do they have the rights to
the work?
• How broadly do they want to share? What
level of reuse?
• Which license suite?
• How do they want to be attributed?
![Page 22: Creative commons licenses and legal tools](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062706/557560c6d8b42a40668b5110/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Things Licensees Should Consider
• Does the desired use fit within license terms?
• Are there other rights implicated in the work, such
as publicity rights?
• Is attribution properly given?
• When remixing, consider things both from the
Licensee’s and Licensor’s point of view
