-==License==
-===License Your Work===
-Creative Commons licenses would do little without enthusiastic use by creators across disciplines. If you’ve created any sort of copyrightable material, such as video, text, images, websites or blogs, license them! See the [http://creativecommons.org/license select license page] for information about choosing a license.
-===Marking Standards===
-In many cases (blogs, web-based text), the standard CC license button will be appropriate for designating your work with the freedoms you wish to carry. In certain mediums, this isn’t the case. In order to make sure your audience understands the license you have chosen, follow our [[Marking|marking standards]] on how to correctly label your respective work.
