The video below will provide you with an understanding of the Creative Commons licenses, including the four license elements; the six CC licenses; and CC0, Creative Commons' public domain dedication tool. This video will help you understand for what purposes you can use others' CC-licensed works as well as which CC licenses are appropriate for your own work.
