The Various Licences
Attribution - CC BY
This license lets people distribute, remix, tweak, and
build upon an author's work, even commercially, as
long as they credit the author for the original creation.
This is the most accommodating of licenses offered for AV.
Attribution-ShareAlike - CC BY- SA
This license lets people remix, tweak, and build upon
the music even for commercial purposes, as long as
they credit the author and license their new
creations under the identical terms.
This license is often compared to "copyleft" free and open source software
licenses. All new works based on the author's will carry the same license, so
any derivatives will also allow commercial use. This is the license used
by Wikipedia, and is recommended for materials that would benefit from
incorporating content from Wikipedia and similarly licensed projects.
Attribution-NoDerivs - CC BY- ND
This license allows for redistribution, commercial and
non-commercial, as long as it is passed along
unchanged and in whole, with credit to the author.
Attribution-NonCommercial - CC BY- NC
This license lets people remix, tweak, and build upon
the music non-commercially, and although their new
works must also acknowledge the author and be non
commercial, they don't have to license their derivative
works on the same terms. Another eminently suitable for use with AV
Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike - CC BY- NC-SA
This license lets people remix, tweak, and build upon
the author's work non-commercially, as long as they
credit the author and license their new creations
under the identical terms.
Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs - CC BY- NC-ND
This license is the most restrictive of our six main
licenses, only allowing people to download music and
share them with others as long as they credit the
author, but they can't change them in any way or use
them commercially.
