Briefing Paper on Embedding Creative Commons Licences into Digital Resources

Briefing Paper on Embedding Creative Commons Licences into Digital Resources – Naomi Korn, Strategic Content Alliance IPR Consultant, March 2011

  • “Creative Commons licences (also referred to as CC licences) can facilitate the copying, reuse, distribution, and in some cases, the modification of the original owner’s creative work without needing to get permission each time from the rights holder. There are a number of different types of these licences. Across the UK’s public sector, CC licences are increasingly used to provide access to cultural heritage and teaching, learning and research outputs. Creative Commons licensed resources are also helpful for public sector bodies who wish to use third party resources which place the least restrictive licensing terms on the user. This short briefing paper accompanies further information on CC licences produced by the Strategic Content Alliance, available here demonstrates how the terms of CC licences can be embedded into a variety of resources, such as PowerPoint, images, Word docs, elearning resources, podcasts and other audio visual resources.” {via Robin Good]
