Creative Commons helps creators explain how others may use and share their work. Share My Lesson offers three options:
- CC0 1.0 Universal (Public Domain Dedication): You waive your copyright to the extent allowed by law. Others may copy, adapt and share your work, including commercially, without asking permission.
- CC BY-NC-SA (Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike): Others may share and adapt your work for noncommercial purposes. They must credit you, link to the license and identify changes. Shared adaptations must use the same license.
- CC BY-NC-ND (Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives): Others may share your work for noncommercial purposes with credit and a link to the license. They may not share modified versions.
You retain copyright under the two CC licenses above. CC0 works differently by dedicating your work to the public domain.
