An essential part of our licensing structure is that all of license require author Attribution.

As a creator of CC-licensed content, it is important to properly note the license you have chosen so that others know what they can and can't do with your work. We have developed some Best Practices to help you understand the ideal way to mark your work so others know what they can and can't do with your content.

When reusing a CC-licensed work, either as pure sharing or as a derivative work, it is your legal obligation to include what license is being used, as well as obeying by the license conditions provided by the licensor (content owner/creator). We have developed some Best Practices to help you understand the ideal way to attribute others when sharing or reusing their works.
