Choosing a Licence for the final project

Creative Commons (CC)

Creative Commons (CC) is a non-profit organization that allows the use and sharing creativity and knowledge through a series of legal instruments free of charge.

A CC license is used when an author wants to give people the right to share, use, and build upon a work that they have created.

Types of licenses:

      - Attribution (BY) : Licensees may copy, distribute, display and perform the work and make derivative works and remixes based on it only if they give the author or licensor the credits (attribution) in the manner specified by these.

      - Share-alike (SA) : Licensees may distribute derivative works only under a license identical to the license that governs the original work.

      - Non-commercial (VC) : Licensees may copy, distribute, display, and perform the work and make derivative works and remixes based on it only for non-commercial purposes.

      - No Derivative Works : Licensees may copy, distribute, display and perform only verbatim copies of the work, not derivative works and remixes based on it.

GNU General Public License (GNU GPL)

GNU GPL is the most widely used license in the software world and allows to end users freedom to use, study, share (copy) and modify the software.

Its purpose is to declare that the software covered by this license is free software and protect it from attempts at appropriation.

Distribution rights granted by the GPL for modified versions of the work are not unconditional. When someone distributed under GPL adding to the work their own modifications, the requirements for the distribution of all of the work can not be greater than the requirements that are in the GPL. This requirement is known as copyleft.

I plan to share my final project trough this website. For my final project I have chosen this licens from the creative commons website:

This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.

This license permits others to create and distribute derivative works, but only the same or a compatible liense. Also this license permits others to copy, distribute, display, and perform the work for non-commercial purposes only.
