Creative Commons’ Six Core Licences Attribution Licence Creative Commons (CC) is an internationally active non-profit organisation that provides free licences for creators to use when making their work available to the public. These licences help the creator to give permission for others to use the work in advance under certain conditions. CC provides six core licences, each of which allows members of the pubic to use the material in different ways. While there are different CC licences, all CC licences include certain standard rights and obligations.3

A Licence grants permission to use a copyright work in a particular way, it may be an exclusive or non-exclusive licence.
Further information on how to clear rights and contact owners can be accessed from the Smartcopying website at http://bit.ly/1BoeoRW
To obtain permission, the first step is to identify the creator and the copyright owner of the work (see the following list). This is important for two reasons; 1. The creator may or may not be the Copyright/ Rights Holder of the work 2. The creator has moral rights, which are the right of attribution, rights against false attribution and the right to have the integrity of their work respected.
Permission granted Once permission is obtained this should be clearly labeled when the material is used. For example, the phrase ‘used with permission of [copyright owner]’ should be included in a worksheet or on the intranet page containing the material used with the copyright owner’s consent. Information on labelling third party material can be accessed from the Smartcopying website at http://bit.ly/1CZZlVs
