What are Creative Commons Licenses?
UNESCO
To understand briefly, what are the Creative Commons licenses, the description of the same given by the UNESCO world organization. Which says the following:
"Creative Commons (CC) Licenses are model contracts that serve to publicly grant the right to use a publication protected by copyright. The fewer restrictions a license implies, the greater the possibilities of using and distributing content. CC Licenses allow any user to download, copy, distribute, translate, reuse, adapt and develop their content at no cost." Creative Commons Licenses
Creative Commons Organization
However, there is a lot of literature available on the Internet about them. And the best way as usual to understand and learn, is to consult the official source of what is analyzed. Therefore, the ideal is to access the "Licenses" section from the official website of the Creative Commons Organization so that it can easily be consulted and studied, and the scope of said CC licenses.
"All Creative Commons licenses have important characteristics in common. Each license helps creators (we call them licensors if they use our tools) to maintain their copyright while allowing others to copy, distribute, and make some uses of their work - at least in a non-commercial way. All Creative Commons licenses also ensure that licensors get the credit they deserve for their works.
Creative Commons licenses work around the world and last as long as copyright law applies (because they are based on it). These common characteristics serve as the basis from which licensors can choose to grant more permits when deciding how they want their work to be used."
