Qué es Creative Commons

Creative Commons Certificate Creative Commons Creative Commons is both an organization, and a movement in response to expansive copyright protection. Using Creative Commons Licenses, artists and creators can proactively make their work available for public use, under specific conditions. Creative Commons is not an alternative to copyright - it's just an option of a different way to share works, and it fundamentally relies on copyright - you must own a copyright in a work in order to make it available under a Creative Commons license. Creators Control Sharing Creative Commons Licenses allow creators to make their works available for use - and they allow creators to put conditions on those uses. Users Get Certainty Even in the best of circumstances, it can be difficult to be sure that a given use is acceptable under fair use or other formal copyright exemptions or limitations. Most of the illustrations on this website are used under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial (CC by-nc) or Attribution (CC by) license.

About the Licences What is a CC licence? The CC licences provide a simple standardised way for individual creators, companies and institutions to share their work with others on flexible terms without infringing copyright. The licences allow users to reuse, remix and share the content legally. Offering your work under a Creative Commons licence does not mean giving up your copyright. Licence terms: baseline permissions and core conditions The CC licences set out the uses that may lawfully be made of the copyright material and specifies the conditions which must be complied with when it is used. There are six standardised CC licences. Each of the CC licences grants certain baseline permissions to users in advance, authorising them to use the material, provided they comply with core conditions, as well as other general terms in the licence. The baseline permissions granted by the CC licences permit the material to be copied, distributed, displayed and performed. The other core conditions are:

About The Licenses Our public copyright licenses incorporate a unique and innovative “three-layer” design. Each license begins as a traditional legal tool, in the kind of language and text formats that most lawyers know and love. We call this the Legal Code layer of each license. But since most creators, educators, and scientists are not in fact lawyers, we also make the licenses available in a format that normal people can read — the Commons Deed (also known as the “human readable” version of the license). The Commons Deed is a handy reference for licensors and licensees, summarizing and expressing some of the most important terms and conditions. Think of the Commons Deed as a user-friendly interface to the Legal Code beneath, although the Deed itself is not a license, and its contents are not part of the Legal Code itself. Searching for open content is an important function enabled by our approach.
