About CC Licenses

Creative Commons · creativecommons.org Free Beginner

Creative Commons' own explanation of its six licences: CC BY lets anyone reuse work commercially with credit, while anything carrying NC is for noncommercial purposes only.

  • Look for the licence badge before using a photo from Flickr, Wikimedia or a search engine.
  • NC means you cannot use it in marketing for a business.
  • BY means you must credit the creator.
