Clear Definitions

& Sections





Database Rights

CC Licenses now license sui generis database rights. This means that if you see a CC license on a database, you know you have permission to use the database without worrying about what jurisdiction you are using the database in or where the database was created.

Education Example:

You find a database of learning analytics and it has a CC BY 4.0 license on it. This means you are free to reuse the database as long as you give credit to the database creator and abide by the terms of the license.

Moral, Publicity, Privacy, Personality Rights

These rights are waived by the licensor to the limited extent necessary to allow you to reuse the content as intended by the license.

Education Example:

You want to use a headshot a teacher has taken of herself and licensed CC BY 4.0 in a yearbook. Do you have to worry about her publicity rights when it comes to reusing it?



Common-sense Attribution

Simpler and more flexible. Now made explicit that you can satisfy the attribution requirement with a link to a credits page.

Education Example:

You have created a video about the History of X and can’t attribute all your sources in the video itself. Now you can simply include a link to a page that lists all the credits.

Best Practices for Attribution: (TASL)

Title Author Source – Link to work License – Name + Link

http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Best_practices_for_attribution




Best Practice Example:

You have assembled a textbook consisting of OER from various sources. Here’s what a credits page at the end of that textbook might look like.

Author

License

Source

Title

Also, if you modify a CC-licensed work…

Indicate that you did so along with your attribution. This makes it easier for downstream users (including you) to know what changed from the original.

Education Example:

You use another teacher’s lesson plan but replace the classroom activity with your own. Simply note what you changed so others can distinguish your contribution from the overall lesson plan.

Sample Attribution:

American History Lesson by John Doe used under a CC BY license: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/. Activity in Section E changed from original.

https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/





Anonymize your work

Made more explicit in 4.0: you can have your name removed from any version of your work if desired – verbatim reproduction or adaptation.

Education Example:

You draft a white paper that you want others to build on, but don’t want to be credited for the work until it is final. You can ask for your name to be removed from any drafts redistributed online.



30-day window to correct violations

If you breached a license by mistake, you can now correct your mistake and have your rights reinstated automatically – which means you can continue to use the CC-licensed work.

Education Example:

You forgot to attribute a textbook you used in your curriculum. Instead of permanently losing reuse rights, simply correct your mistake within 30 days of discovery and get your rights reinstated automatically.

recap:

What does that mean? What’s new in 4.0? What is the same? Who has upgraded?

NonCommercial Definition

Commercial is still defined as: “primarily intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or monetary compensation”

Education Example

You can continue using NC-licensed educational resources for noncommercial purposes as you were doing!

No Endorsement

Users may not attribute you in a way that suggests you endorse or support their use of your work.

Education Example

Another teacher can’t say that you support their using your lesson plan in their classroom.


What does that mean? What’s new in 4.0? What is the same? Who has upgraded?

“Once all academic content is… [CC BY] we believe that

significant new opportunities will emerge for people to use this content; to build on it for

new discoveries and products; and to accelerate

the scientific discovery process.”

and many more
