25 Licensing Considerations for Collections
Licensing for Collections
|
How is a license created for a collection that includes a work offered under a CC license, which license(s) may be selected?
- All Creative Commons licenses (including the version 4.0 licenses) allow licensed material to be included in collections such as anthologies, encyclopedias, and broadcasts.
- You may choose a license for the collection, however this does not change the license applicable to the original material.
- When you include CC-licensed content in a collection, you still must adhere to the license conditions governing your use of the material incorporated.
For example, material under any of the Creative Commons NonCommercial licenses cannot be used commercially. The table below indicates what type of CC-licensed works you may incorporate into collections licensed for commercial and noncommercial uses.
