Abstract

This brochure designed at Virginia Tech introduces Creative Commons licenses as a tool that one can apply one's own in-copyright works to allow redistribution, adaptation, and reuse. The brochure introduces the four Creative Commons icons, the four "open" Creative Commons licenses (those that allow derivatives) and both Public Domain marks. The brochure also describes and provides a link to further information regarding giving appropriate credit/attribution, answers the questions "what are Creative Commons licenses and why do people use its licenses?" and "Where can I find Creative Commons licensed works?"

This brochure is based in part on the Creative Commons brochure located at http://creativecommons.org.nz/cc-brochure-civer and is adapted under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license.
