Editor's Notes
#5: The rights are: Attribution of authorship Share Alike – which requires derivative works to distributed under similar licence terms Noncommercial – which allows only noncommercial uses; and No Derivative Works – which allows all uses other than adaption or changes to the work The most important thing to understand about creative commons is that it does not strip material of copyright, it is a voluntary system that allows people to share and reuse copyright material through the use of generic licences.
