Step 7: Images, Copyright and Creative Commons (l)

 Into to Creative Commons 
  Creative Commons, founded in 2001, is an organization that provides free content licenses that people can apply to their work. These are known as Creative Commons licenses.
  When you license your work with Creative Commons, you are allowing people to use it without having to ask permission, provided they use it in the manner stated in your Creative Commons license. The reason people use Creative Commons licenses is to make it easier for everyone to share and adapt creative work without the concern of copyright infringement.
 Creative Commons licenses are used for books, websites, blogs, photographs, films, videos, songs, and other audio and visual recordings. If an image, website, doesn’t include a Creative Commons license, or isn’t public domain work, or doesn’t indicate that the content is free to use, then it is automatically implied that all content is copyright and you should not use it !
Put simply — unless stated otherwise, it is copyright.
  Creative Commons Licenses
There are several different types of Creative Commons licenses people use depending on what restriction(s) they want to apply to their work. Here is a quick summary of the different types of Creative Commons licenses:
