Creative Commons (CC) helps you publish your work online while letting others know exactly what they can and can't do with your work. When you choose a license, CC provides you with tools and tutorials that let you add license information to your metadata describing your work. With a Creative Commons license, you keep your copyright but allow people to copy and distribute your work - provided they give you credit - and only on the conditions you specify. The CC website guides you through the licensing decisions you need to make in easy-to-understand language. Go to http://creativecommons.org.
