Overview
Creative Commons legal tools give everyone from individual creators to large companies a simple, standardized way to grant copyright permissions to their creative work. There are six different Creative Commons licenses and one public domain dedication tool. Creators can choose the right option for their project and apply that license to their copyrighted work. This tool, currently in beta, guides organizations through the process of selecting the right Creative Commons license for their data.
