Creative Commons-A Creative Commons (CC) license is one of several public copyright

licenses that enable the free distribution of an otherwise copyrighted work. A CC license is used when an author wants to give people the

right to share, use, and build upon a work that they have created. CC provides an author flexibility (for example, they might choose to

allow only non-commercial uses of their own work) and protects the people who use or redistribute an author's work from concerns of copyright infringement as long as they abide by the conditions that

are specified in the license by which the author distributes the work. From Wikipedia

-The movement started in 2001-Founder Lawrence Lessig, law professor at

Standford University-Related movements: Copyleft, General Public Licence, Free culture movement
