What is Creative Commons?
Answer
Creative Commons (CC) is an internationally active, non-profit organization that "provides Creative Commons licenses and public domain tools that give every person and organization in the world a free, simple, and standardized way to grant copyright permissions for creative and academic works; ensure proper attribution; and allow others to copy, distribute, and make use of those works."
