Copyright: An overview

Provides an overview on how Copyright applies in higher education, including Creative Commons and Open Access.

How the licence works

Creative Commons licences provide a standardised way to give the public permission to share and use your creative work — on conditions of your choice. CC licences let you easily change your copyright terms from the default of “all rights reserved” to “some rights reserved.”

Which licence is right for me?

That will be the right licence for you. For the full details of each of the licences, see the link under the box.
