Things to think about
Before using CC material:
• Check that you’re following the licence (ask for extra permission if necessary)
• Do you need any other rights?
• Make sure your use isn’t ‘derogatory’
• Use common sense
• Don’t forget to attribute

Using CC licences
• Can apply to your own material
• Free, easy to understand, no lawyers needed

Things to think about
Before using CC licences:
