union jack flag Creative Commons licences (creators)

Several of the CC elements can be combined to produce a legally binding CC licence. Here are some common examples:

  • CC-BY CC-BY lets users distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon your work, even commercially, as long as they credit you as the creator.
  • CC-BY-SA CC-BY-SA lets users distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon your work, even commercially, as long as they credit you as the creator and license any new creations under identical terms.
  • CC-BY-ND CC-BY-ND allows redistribution, commercial and non-commercial, as long as the content is passed along unchanged and you are credited as the creator.
  • CC-BY-NC CC-BY-NC lets users distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon a work non-commercially, as long as they credit you as the creator.

CC0 Public domain licence

CC0 There is one CC licence that we have not yet mentioned. CC0, or a public domain licence, lets you place your content in the public domain so that others may freely build upon, enhance and reuse your work for any purpose without any restrictions. This means that users don’t need to give credit to you as the creator when they reuse your work and that they can alter it freely. GCU does not recommend the use of CC0 licences when creating OERs.
