Assignment:
Creative Commons offers six levels of licensing agreements with varying degrees of restrictions on what others can do with the licensed content. The least restrictive, known as “Attribution,” gives others the right to do whatever they want with a piece of work—remix it, expand it, or even sell it for profit, as long as they give the originator credit. At the other extreme, the “Attribution Non-Commercial No Derivatives” license lets others redistribute an original work, but that is all; they can’t modify it or use it in any commercial way, including advertising. Which of these statements does the most effective job of explaining to content creators (those who wish to use a license to protect their works) that Creative Commons offers a range of licensing options?
a. Creative Commons licenses combine four features— (1) attribution (giving credit to the creator), (2) the freedom to make derivatives based on original creations, (3) restrictions on whether someone can make commercial products or use a derivative commercially, and (4) requirements to share a derivative with exactly the same licensing terms— to create six different levels of licensing options.
b. Creative Commons offers six levels of licensing agreements with varying degrees of restrictions on what others can do with the licensed content.
c. Creative Commons offers a range of licensing options.
d. No matter what level of licensing you need, Creative Commons has it.
