What Is A Creative Commons License And Can I Use It?
The creative commons license was developed by Creative Commons, a non-profit organization that was implemented for the purpose of gathering creative work that others can build on and share.
A creative commons license allows those who hold copyrights to grant some of those rights to the public, while retaining other rights.
This was originally done because current copyright laws prohibit changing copyrighted information. This enables you to use work that has a creative commons license, but if you plan to sell a product, a creative commons license isn’t really what you want to use.
