Legal FAQ

What is this funny CreativeCommons licensing business?

Original works of authorship (like the stuff you compose and post to your blog) may be protected by copyright law. Technically, this means that you own the rights to copy, distribute, display, and perform your work. However, we also encourage you to share your work under the terms of one of the CreativeCommons Attribution-ShareAlike license. This license permits others to copy and display your work, as long as they give you credit. It also allows others to compose derivative works — new works that incorporate some or all of your work. Moreover, if they create a derivative work, they have to distribute that work under the same license.
