What are Creative Commons licenses and how can we use them?

[najmulislam]

Lawrence Lessig, a law professor at Stanford University, created an NGO in 2011 to develop plans to remove legal barriers to creativity in the new technology environment. This non-governmental, non-profit organization is called Creative Commons , and the licenses created by the NGO bear the same name.

Creative Commons or CC are based on the General Public License developed by the Free Software Foundation . They aim to create a legal model to make the distribution and use of Internet content easier. Each author can choose which type they want to apply to their work so that it can circulate online.
