What is Creative Commons?
• Non-profit corporation based in California
• Founded on notion that some people may not want to exercise all of
the intellectual property rights the law affords them.
• Believes there is an unmet demand for an easy yet reliable way to tell
the world "Some rights reserved" or even "No rights reserved." the world "Some rights reserved" or even "No rights reserved."
• Many people want to share their work - and the power to reuse,
modify, and distribute their work - with others on generous terms.
• Creative Commons intends to help people express this preference for
sharing by offering the world a set of licenses on its site, at no
charge.
• UCC Law Faculty is Irish Partner
