There are six main licences offered within a Creative Commons licence. We have listed them from the most accommodating to most restrictive. You simply choose the licence that suits you. Simshare recommends the Attribution-Share Alike licence (by-sa), this will allow you to retain some rights while allowing others to build upon your initial deposit. Below is a full list of CC licenses.
Attribution (BY)
Share Alike (SA)
Non-Commercial (NC)
No Derivative Works(ND)
Attribution (by) allows others to distribute and change your work. Whether it’s a slight tweak or a complete overhaul, this licence will allow that usage provided you are credited for the original creation.
Attribution Share Alike (by-sa) lets others make free use of your resource in whatever way they wish, provided that it does not infringe your moral rights. The only requirement is that they attribute the work (or part of it) to you.
The Attribution No Derivatives (by-na) licence allows free use of your resource, provided that it is attributed, but it must be used it in its original form and it cannot be converted into a new resource.
Attribution Non Commercial (by-nc) licence allows people to freely use your work, provided it is attributed, but it cannot be sold or incorporated into a commercial product.
Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike (by-nc-sa) licence lets others change and build upon your work non-commercially. They have to credit you and license their new creations under identical terms. Others can download and redistribute but they can also change and produce new works. These new works carry the same license and must be non-commercially available.
The Attribution Non-Commercial No Derivatives (by-nc-nd) licence allows redistribution as long as you are credited as the original author. Users cannot change these works in any way or use them for a commercial nature.
