Adding a CC License allows you to retain your copyright, but also allow other to use and adapt your work. There are 6 CC Licenses that combine four elements, two that can be combined. Each license permits different levels of sharing and rights.


Each CC License carries some use restrictions. The chart below illustrates how starting with work in the public domain that has no restrictions, each license limits reuse, revision and commercial use.
