DISCLAIMER

The iSLCollective Copyright brief summary is not a license, but only a human-readable (simplified) version of the full legal code. The above summary itself has no legal value, and its contents do not appear in the actual license. You can read the full legal text at the end of this page.

iSLCollective Ltd. is not a law firm and does not provide legal services. Distributing of, displaying of, or linking to this Your Copyright page does not create an attorney-client relationship.

Creative Commons

If you do not wish to share your work with the iSLCollective Copyright License, you can select a Creative Commons copyright license for your upload.

Creative Commons: A Shared Culture

"So we wanted to create a simple way for creators to say to the world, 'Here's the freedom that I want to run with my creative work. Here's the things that are allowed to do.' Can I reproduce it? Can I copy it? Can I put it in my textbook? Can I use that photograph? Can I make a new version of it?

Creative Commons gives tools to creators to make a choice about copyright. Every license says 'You need to give me atribution. I created this, give me credit for the work I did.' The basic choices are: Commercial use or not? Can you make derivate works, versions, adaptations, or not? And do you want me to have to share alike? So if I take your stuff, do I have to offer it to the next person under the same terms?"

Creative Commons Licenses

Creative Commons licenses help you publish your work online while letting others know exactly what they can and can't do with your work.

With a Creative Commons license, you keep your copyright but allow people to copy and distribute your work provided they give you credit - and only on the conditions you specify here. Basically, Creative Commons licenses enable you to change your copyright terms from "All Rights Reserved" to "Some Rights Reserved."

The following describes each of the six main licenses offered when you publish your work with a Creative Commons license. They have been listed starting with the most accommodating license type you can choose and ending with the most restrictive license type you can choose.

License Conditions

Creators can choose a set of conditions they wish to apply to their work.

Attribution
You let others copy, distribute, display, and perform your copyrighted work - and derivative works based upon it - but only if they give credit the way you request.

Share Alike
You allow others to distribute derivative works only under a license identical to the license that governs your work.

Noncommercial
You let others copy, distribute, display, and perform your work - and derivative works based upon it - but for noncommercial purposes only.

No Derivative Works
You let others copy, distribute, display, and perform only verbatim copies of your work, not derivative works based upon it.

The Licenses

Attribution
This license lets others distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon your work, even commercially, as long as they credit you for the original creation. This is the most accommodating of licenses offered, in terms of what others can do with your works licensed under Attribution.

Attribution Share Alike
This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work even for commercial reasons, as long as they credit you and license their new creations under the identical terms. This license is often compared to open source software licenses. All new works based on yours will carry the same license, so any derivatives will also allow commercial use.

Attribution No Derivatives
This license allows for redistribution, commercial and non-commercial, as long as it is passed along unchanged and in whole, with credit to you.

Attribution Non-Commercial
This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work non-commercially, and although their new works must also acknowledge you and be non-commercial, they don't have to license their derivative works on the same terms.

Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike
This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work non-commercially, as long as they credit you and license their new creations under the identical terms. Others can download and redistribute your work just like the by-nc-nd license, but they can also translate, make remixes, and produce new stories based on your work. All new work based on yours will carry the same license, so any derivatives will also be non-commercial in nature.

Attribution Non-Commercial No Derivatives
This license is the most restrictive of our six main licenses, allowing redistribution. This license is often called the "free advertising" license because it allows others to download your works and share them with others as long as they mention you and link back to you, but they can't change them in any way or use them commercially.

Creative Commons is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to making it easier for people to share and build upon the work of others, consistent with the rules of copyright. Find more information at:

VIII. Miscellaneous

Each time You Distribute the Work, the Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the Work on the same terms and conditions as the license granted to You under this License.

If any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this License, and without further action by the parties to this agreement, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.
No term or provision of this License shall be deemed waived and no breach consented to unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing and signed by the party to be charged with such waiver or consent.

Licensor shall not be bound by any additional provisions that may appear in any communication from You. This License may not be modified without the mutual written agreement of the Licensor and You.
The rights granted under, and the subject matter referenced, in this License were drafted utilizing the terminology of the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (as amended on September 28, 1979), the Rome Convention of 1961, the WIPO Copyright Treaty of 1996, the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty of 1996 and the Universal Copyright Convention (as revised on July 24, 1971). These rights and subject matter take effect in the relevant jurisdiction in which the License terms are sought to be enforced according to the corresponding provisions of the implementation of those treaty provisions in the applicable national law.
