Choosing a License
Our works are all available to the public without any license by now. So if had to choose any of this licenses I would definetily choose a creative common license for protecting my works. By now, I can not have any monetary retribution for any of this works; however, it is possible that I get a monetary retribution on derivate works. So between the available creative common license options, I would choose a license with the conditions of Attribution, Non commercial and Non derivate (CC-By-NC-ND).
