Creative Commons licenses

Creative Commons licenses are a legal way for creators to share their work while setting terms for its use. They allow creators to specify permissions such as whether others can copy, modify, or share their work, and under what conditions. There are different types of licenses, ranging from very open (allowing almost any use) to more restrictive. These licenses help balance protecting the creator’s rights with promoting sharing and collaboration, making it easier for people to use and build upon each other's work legally and ethically.
