The Full License Set

This database contains only the BY-NC-SA licenses, but you can still use the database to research any of the six licenses in the CC License Suit.

All the parts of the six Creative Commons licenses are contained within the BY-NC-SA license. The licenses differ from each other in the following ways:

BY When using BY-NC-SA to research the BY license

Ignore the non-commercial provisions that prohibit releasing your work for commercial purposes(Section 4(c) in the Unported).

BY-SA When using BY-NC-SA to research the BY-SA license
