Creative Commons
What is a CC licence?
The CC licences provide a simple standardised way for individual creators, companies and institutions to share their work with others on flexible terms without infringing copyright. The licences allow users to reuse, remix and share the content legally.
Offering your work under a Creative Commons licence does not mean giving up your copyright. It means permitting users to make use of your material in various ways, but only on certain conditions.
The CC licences set out the uses that may lawfully be made of the copyright material and specifies the conditions which must be complied with when it is used.
There are six standardised CC licences.
Each of the CC licences grants certain baseline permissions to users in advance, authorising them to use the material, provided they comply with core conditions, as well as other general terms in the licence.
The baseline permissions granted by the CC licences permit the material to be copied, distributed, displayed and performed. Four of the CC licences additionally grant permission to users to use the CC-licensed material to create a Derivative Work (version 3.0 Australia licences) or Adapted Material (version 4.0 international licences), which may then be copied, distributed, displayed and performed.
The core condition that applies to all six of the CC licences is the requirement that the author of the work is attributed – the Attribution condition.
The conditions are:
Attribution (BY): You must attribute your use of the copyright item to the copyright owner
Non Commercial (NC): You may use/the copyright item for non commercial purposes
No Derivative (ND): You can only use the copyright item as is. You can not modify or alter the item
Share Alike (SA): You may modify or alter the item, but it must be distributed under the same terms as the original item.
These conditions are combined to create the 6 Creative Commons Licences

CC0 - No Rights Reserved (Public Domain)
CC0 enables scientists, educators, artists and other creators and owners of copyright- or database-protected content to waive those interests in their works and thereby place them as completely as possible in the public domain, so that others may freely build upon, enhance and reuse the works for any purposes without restriction under copyright or database law.
In contrast to CC’s licenses that allow copyright holders to choose from a range of permissions while retaining their copyright, CC0 empowers yet another choice altogether – the choice to opt out of copyright and database protection, and the exclusive rights automatically granted to creators – the “no rights reserved” alternative to our licenses.

Moral Rights
What are moral rights?
Moral rights are personal rights that connect the creator of a work to their work.
Moral rights are about being properly named or credited when your work is used, and the way your work is treated and shown.
Moral rights require that your name is always shown with your work. This is called right of attribution. For example:
- your name should always appear next to your artwork in an exhibition
- your name should always appear in the credits of a film you performed in
- your name should always appear with any writing you have published
Moral rights also require that your work is not treated in any way that hurts your reputation. This is called right of integrity. For example, it means that:
- no one can change your work without your permission
- no one can destroy your work without first asking you if you want to take it back
- no one can show your work in a way that damages its meaning
