Exercise 4

What does the license mean?
– CC license stands for Creative Commons license
– This is one of many public copyright licenses that enables the free distribution of an otherwise copyrighted work.
– The license is used when author wants to give other people the right to share, use and build upon a work that they have created.
– That license above is named BY, ByAttribution and it means that you can copy, distribute, present and show publicly and you can make derivate works as long as original authors or the owners names are shown correctly.
Which are the license rules?
– CC licenses are easy to use if you remember these following things:
– IT doesn’t need any permissions or registeration
– When you want to publish something with CC license you need to mark the license to your work according to instructions
– When using CC licensed work you need to follow the terms and you need to mention the original author by intructions.
Where did you see it?
– For example I found this license from Xubuntu Documentation pdf.
– “This document is made available under the Creative Commons ShareAlike 2.5 License (CC-BY-SA).”

– The application page is clearly different
