Creative Commons (CC)
Before the advent of Creative Commons (CC), creative works could only be licensed under two extremes: "All Rights Reserved" or "No Rights Reserved." This hindered the circulation of creativity and increased the risk of misuse. Creative Commons introduced the concept of "Some Rights Reserved," allowing creators to share their work and protect their rights through six licensing combinations. This framework promotes societal progress and well-being.

Attribution
Users must give appropriate credit to the author or licensor in the manner specified, but not in a way that suggests they endorse you or your use of the work.

Four Licensing Elements Combine to Form Six License Types:
