All CC variants above can be combined with the NC module ( or non-commercial use only; commercial

use requires additional approval ). This leads to six possible CC variants altogether, this being the additi-

onal three:

Only these two license variants are certifed to be ree licenses in the meaning o reedomdefned.org and are thus suitable

to make sure works licensed under stay re-usable.

ATTRIBUTION (BY)

Apart rom requiring reerences to the author(s),

rights holder(s), source o the work and the licensetext itsel, this CC variant puts no urther restrictions

on the user. She can use the work reely and edit it

in any thinkable way. Thereore, using the work in

remixes and mashups is allowed.

ATTRIBUTION SHARE ALIKE (BY SA)

Just like BY, this CC variant allows all kinds o re-use

and editing, even or commercial purposes. Ho-wever, all edited versions o the work (derivatives)

must, i they are published or distributed, be availa-

ble under this very same license.

ATTRIBUTION

NO DERIVATIVES

This CC variant does not allow

the work to be edited. Com-

mercial uses are allowed.

CC liCenses

Theres an additional legal tool called CC0 (CCzero) or setting a work ree without any

specifc conditions. CC0 thus is a complete waiver o copyright and related rights.. This

is meant to help creatives to voluntarily place works in the Public Domain. According to Creative Com-

mons, this tool is especially suitable or databases.

The

to make creative works available

or ree use under certain conditions. As

rights holders have dierent needs and motives,

CC oers six dierent license variants. Some o the most

popular license variants include the condition that the licensed

works must not be used commercially. This has ar-reaching and oten

unintended consequences or the dissemination o the respec-tive works and sometimes even entirely thwarts what the

licensor wants to achieve by choosing a CC license.

This brochure wants to oer inormation on
