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
