How is a Creative Commons license different from a regular copyright?

Question

A. It is different in name only - in practice, it does the same thing. B. It allows others to share and reuse your work if they pay you first. C. It allows your work to be shared, reused, and remixed to help spark more creativity. D. It is the most restrictive type of copyright, not allowing anyone to use your work for any reason.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. It allows your work to be shared, reused, and remixed to help spark more creativity.

Creative Commons licenses provide a way for creators to grant permission for others to use their work under certain conditions, promoting sharing and collaboration while still retaining some rights. In contrast, regular copyright typically restricts the use of a creator's work without explicit permission.
